NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The sugar produced by photosynthesis can be converted into the sugar glucose. Thousands of glucose molecules can be linked together to form the complex carbohydrate starch. Starch is stored inside plant cells as grains.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. Cellulose is used in building cell walls. Starch is stored in seeds and other plant parts as a food source.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis produces glucose in the green parts of plants, which are often leaves. This is then converted into sucrose. The sucrose is transported around the plant in phloem vessels.

Detailed explanation-4: -Starch molecules are very large so they cannot move out of the cell. This means they can act as energy stores. They can be converted back to glucoses needed to be used in respiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -The storage form of glucose in plants is starch. Starch is a polysaccharide. The leaves of a plant make sugar during the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis occurs in light (photo = light), such as when the sun is shining.
