In order for plants to make starch, they need some vital factors including; chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and light.

Light turns into chemical energy by chlorophyll or chloroplasts (organelles) which forms a chemical reaction that is stored as glucose, the glucose then turns into starch.

light

Carbon dioxide + water >>>>>>>>>>> Glucose + oxygen
