Question

Describe how glucose formed in a leaf becomes starch stored in a potato tuber

Answer 1

Answer:

dehydration synthesis

Explanation:

monomers of the sugar glucose combine to form a single molecule of the sugar maltose. One of the glucose molecules loses an H, the other loses an OH group, and a water molecule is released when the water molecule is lost its no longer soluble hence its stored in the tuber as starch

Answer 2

⚠ANSWER⚠

↪Glucose is usually converted into starch for storage. Starch is better for storage than glucose because it is insoluble. Plants like potatoes and other tubers, and also fruits like the banana store starch for later use. This starch is stored by special organelles, or cell subunits called amyloplasts.
