How plants use glucose

• What is glucose used for in plants?

  Glucose is used to produce starch, energy, amino acids, and cellulose.
• How is glucose converted for storage in plants?

  Glucose is converted into starch for storage.
• When is starch used in plants?

  Starch is used when glucose is needed for energy.
• What happens to glucose during respiration in plants?

  Glucose is broken down to release energy.
• What are amino acids produced from in plants?

  Amino acids are produced from glucose and nitrogen ions.
• What is the role of amino acids in plants?

  Amino acids are used in protein synthesis.
• How does glucose contribute to the structure of plant cells?

  Glucose is used to produce cellulose, which strengthens cell walls.
• What are the main uses of glucose in plants?

  • Production of starch for storage
  • Breakdown for energy through respiration
  • Production of amino acids for protein synthesis
  • Production of cellulose for strengthening cell walls
