In plants, what is the primary storage form of glucose?

B
Glycogen
C
Starch
D
Cellulose
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that glucose is a simple sugar produced by plants during photosynthesis and needs to be stored for later use.
Recall that plants store glucose primarily in the form of polysaccharides, which are long chains of glucose molecules linked together.
Identify the options given: Chitin, Glycogen, Starch, and Cellulose, and recognize their biological roles.
Know that chitin is a structural polysaccharide found in fungi and arthropods, not plants; glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals; cellulose is a structural component of plant cell walls.
Conclude that starch is the primary storage form of glucose in plants, as it is a polysaccharide specifically used by plants to store energy.
