NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose produced by photosynthesis is easily soluble in water and it can’t be stored in plant. Plants store glucose as starch in leaves which is insoluble and is utilized as a source of energy for life activities growth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants synthesise glucose during the process of photosynthesis. The excess of glucose is stored in the form of starch. It is stored in roots, leaves, tubers, bulbs. Cellulose is present in the cell wall of the plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Starch is the storage form of glucose in plants, stored in seeds, roots, and tubers for later use as an energy source for the plant to reproduce.

Detailed explanation-4: -Starch is stored in chloroplasts in the form of granules and in such storage organs as the roots of the cassava plant; the tuber of the potato; the stem pith of sago; and the seeds of corn, wheat, and rice.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
