Answer:

polymerization

Step-by-step explanation:

Glucose is converted into starch by the process called polymerization. In polymerization, several simple and soluble molecules of glucose are put together to form a complex, insoluble molecule of starch.

Glucose is soluble , so it is converted to starch so that it can become insoluble and hence it cannot escape from cell , thus it can also be stored.
