After photosynthesis, extra glucose is usually stored in plants in which form?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Starch
Photosynthesis initially produces glucose, a soluble sugar that can be used immediately in respiration or converted into other substances. When present in excess, plants commonly join glucose units to form starch, an insoluble storage carbohydrate. Starch can later be broken down when energy is needed. Therefore option A is correct; proteins, fatty acids and urea are not the usual direct storage form of extra glucose.
