Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, food is produced in plants in the form of glucose. The glucose gets converted to a polymeric form of carbohydrate called the starch. Therefore, the food prepared in plants is stored in the form of starch.
Detailed explanation-2: -During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch.
Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose made by the process of photosynthesis may be used in three ways: It can be converted into chemicals required for growth of plant cells such as cellulose. It can be converted into starch, a storage molecule, that can be converted back to glucose when the plant requires it.
