Answer :

Oseni

Answer:

The plant stores them as starch

Explanation:

A typical plant synthesizes sugars from photosynthesis by using water and carbon dioxide.

[tex]6CO_2 + 6H_20 + energy --> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2[/tex]

Parts of the sugar synthesized via photosynthesis is used to generate energy during respiration. The energy generated is useful for other metabolic processes in the plant's body.

[tex]C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2 --> 6CO_2 + 6H_20 + energy[/tex]

The remaining sugar is utilized in the synthesis of starch and stored in the various tissues of the plant.
