The process by which glucose is converted to starch is known as

polymerization

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.

the answer would be a

periodic trends is an atom that gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase, the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. in general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to right of a certain period.
