HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose is usually converted into starch for storage. Starch is better for storage than glucose because it is insoluble. Plants like potatoes and other tubers, and also fruits like the banana store starch for later use. This starch is stored by special organelles, or cell subunits called amyloplasts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Starch is synthesized in the plastids-chloroplasts in leaves or specialized amyloplasts in the starch-storing tissues of staple crops.

Detailed explanation-3: -In order to prepare for times that less glucose is available or, like the case of potatoes, to prepare for future growth, plants need to store this glucose.
