Storage of Food in Plants
Plants are responsible for the production of glucose which is stored in the plants in the form of starch. The starch is stored in the plant cells so that in the absence of photosynthesis it can be used by the plants. This storage of starch occurs mostly in those tissues of the plant where photosynthesis takes place. The usage of products is necessary to be used for the process of respiration in the cells.
