No- glucose is a sugar, not a starch. Starches store excess glucose in plants though.

Starch is not glucose, it is made of glucose though, but not actually glucose. Glucose is a sugar by itself (C6 H12 O6)

Strictly speaking no...But starch can be broken down into glucose.
Starch is a more efficient way for plants to store sugars.
