NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Starch is a stored form of carbohydrate. Plants prepare their own food through the process of photosynthesis using sunlight and water, storing the synthesised substance as starch.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis is the term for the process through which plants produce food, and this food is then stored as carbohydrates (glucose and starch).

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants (primarily) convert energy from the sun’s light into usable, chemical energy. Plants require energy for growth, reproduction, and defense. Excess energy, created from photosynthesis, is stored in plant tissue as starch. Starch is a white and powdery substance.

Detailed explanation-4: -Food making process in plants is called as photosynthesis and synthesized food is stored as carbohydrates (glucose as well as starch).

Detailed explanation-5: -Starch is insoluble in water so won’t affect the way water moves in and out of the plant, meaning plants can store large amounts of starch in their cells. Starch molecules are very large so they cannot move out of the cell. This means they can act as energy stores.
