Question

What happens when excess of glucose is synthesized by chloroplast in plants?

• A. It is converted into polymeric form.
• B. It is stored in form of starch.
• C. It is stored in form of oil.
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Both A and B

When the excess of glucose is synthesized by chloroplast in plants it is converted into a polymeric form known as starch. Starch is a polymer. It is a long chain of glucose molecules. Starch, a storage molecule, that can be converted back to glucose when the plant requires it. It can be broken down during the process of respiration, releasing energy stored in the glucose molecules.

So, the correct answer is 'Both A and B'.
