Where do plants store glucose in?

Question

Where do plants store glucose in?

Answer 1

Plastids are cell organelles involved either in manufacturing glucose or storing glucose as starch. The whole storage class of plastids are leucoplasts, but amyloplasts are specifically where glucose is polymerizedinto starch & the starch granules are stored.  These organelles can be found in root cells, & other underground storage structures like a tuber or a bulb's cells. Seeds have amyloplasts for starch synthesis as do the pericarp cells of a fleshy fruit such as an apple or plum. http://www.biology-online.org/dictionary...

Answer 2

Storage of glucose for perennials is stored either in the roots (trees) or tubers/bulbs (tulips/Irises)  and for annuals glucose is stored in the seeds for the next generation (corn, soybeans, many wildflowers, etc.)
