Question

Why is glucose converted into starch immediately after its formation in the cells ?

Answer 1

Due to the presence of oxygen the glucose breaks Down into simpler pieces also called starch and then is converted into energy

Answer 2

Glucose is soluble in water and starch is insoluble in water. So for storage in a rather wet medium such as a plant cell, glucose is changed to insoluble starch. When the plant needs glucose for respiration or other processes it changes the starch back to soluble glucose for transportation in solution through the phloem system.
