In what form do organisms of the Plant Kingdom primarily store their food?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Starch

The correct answer is B, starch. During photosynthesis, green plants produce glucose. When this sugar is not immediately needed, many plant cells convert and store it mainly as starch, a storage carbohydrate. Starch is suitable for storage because it is relatively insoluble and compact. Option A, glycogen, is the usual storage carbohydrate emphasised for animals and fungi, not the typical answer for plants. Option C, cellulose, is a structural polysaccharide forming much of the plant cell wall; it is not the principal reserve food. Option D, protein, has many important functions but is not the main stored food form produced from photosynthetic glucose. Memory cue: plants store starch; animals commonly store glycogen.
