Question

Plant leaves produce starch as an energy molecule through the process of photosynthesis. Starch is a polysaccharide. Which monosaccharide molecule is produced and stored as energy for future use?.

Answer 1

Monosaccharide molecule is produced and stored as energy for future use is Glucose.

Unlike people, plants must produce their own energy through photosynthesis in order to meet their needs for fuel. Plants produce and store starch in their leaves for short-term needs.

A polysaccharide, such as starch, is created when a series of glucose molecules are bonded together to form a longer molecule.

In starch, there are two varieties of polysaccharides:

• Amylose – a linear chain of glucose
• Amylopectin – a highly branched chain of glucose

Depending on the plant, starch is made up of between 20-25% amylose and 75-80% amylopectin.
