Why glucose is converted into startch in plants? I know that glucose is soluble and starch is insoluble and because of this, converting glucose into starch make sure that the cell doesn't swell up due to water. But my question is why the cell might swell up if glucose isn't converted into starch? Thanks in advance.

Female luna moths (actias luna) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. a male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. the sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comblike antennae visible in the photograph shown here. each filament of an antenna is equipped with thousands of receptor cells that detect the sex attractant. based on what you learned in this chapter, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. what predictions does your hypothesis make? design an experiment to test one of these predictions.
