Question

which tissue stores starch in potato tubers

Answer 1

The Cortex tissue stores starch in potato tubers...

Answer 2

Answer:

Starch is stored in the cell organelles called amyloplast in the potato tubers.

Explanation:

• The end product of photosynthesis is sugar or glucose. The leaves are where it is made. For cellular needs, this generated glucose or sugar is transferred to various areas of the plant.
• To be stored, it is brought to the tuber. Again, starch is created from the glucose or sugar so that it can be stored in the tuber. Plant polysaccharides are stored in the form of starch.
• Starch is typically created from glucose for storage. Due to its insoluble nature, starch is more suited to storage than glucose. Plants that store starch for later use include bananas, potatoes, and other tubers.
• Special organelles called amyloplast store this starch.

Hence, starch is stored in amyloplast.
