Detailed explanation-1: -Food making process in plants is called as photosynthesis and synthesized food is stored as carbohydrates (glucose as well as starch). Plants are known as photoautotrophs or photosynthetic organisms which means that they are able to synthesize their food directly from carbon dioxide and water using energy from light.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some of the uses of glucose in plants include the glucose made from photosynthesis. Glucose is used for respiration (aerobic and anaerobic). It is also converted into starch so that it can be stored for future energy needs. It is stored in the stem, leaves and roots.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plants synthesise glucose during the process of photosynthesis. The excess of glucose is stored in the form of starch.
