Question

products of photosynthesis

• the end result of the glucose produced by photosynthesis depends on the needs of the plant.
• if a plant needs to grow, the glucose will be used to generate the polysaccharide cellulose.
• excess glucose can be stored as starch to be used at a later time.
• potatoes and other plants have specialized storage organelles called —————— to produce and store starch.

Explanation:

Plants have specialized storage organelles for starch production and storage. In potatoes and similar plants, amyloplasts are the organelles that fulfill this function. Amyloplasts are a type of plastid, which are double - membrane - bound organelles in plant cells. They are responsible for synthesizing and storing starch granules.

Answer:

amyloplasts
