Uses of glucose from photosynthesis

• What is produced during photosynthesis?

  Glucose and oxygen
• What is the word equation for photosynthesis?

  Carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen
• When does photosynthesis occur in plants?

  During the day when there's light
• Where does respiration take place in plant cells?

  In the mitochondria
• What is the first use of glucose produced in photosynthesis?

  To release energy in respiration
• What is the second use of glucose produced in photosynthesis?

  To produce the storage molecule starch
• How can starch be converted back to glucose?

  When the plant needs it, such as at night
• What do plants convert glucose into for energy storage?

  Fats and oils
• What is cellulose made from?

  Glucose produced by photosynthesis
• What is the final use of glucose produced in photosynthesis?

  To produce amino acids
• What do plants need to absorb to make amino acids from glucose?

  Nitrate ions from the soil
• What type of food is a good source of protein?

  Peas
• What are the main uses of glucose produced in photosynthesis?

  • Release energy in respiration
  • Produce insoluble storage molecule starch
  • Convert to fats and oils for energy storage
  • Produce cellulose for cell wall strength
  • Produce amino acids for protein synthesis
• How does glucose contribute to plant growth and energy storage?

  • Glucose is used in respiration for energy
  • Converted to starch for storage
  • Transformed into fats and oils for energy
  • Used to synthesize cellulose for structure
  • Converted into amino acids for protein production
