function of glucose produced by photosynthesis

Question 1

what is the nemonic for each function and each function of glucose produced by photosynthesis

Answer 1

CROPS: cellulose, respiration, oils, proteins, starch

Question 2

what does cellulose, produced by gluclose, do?

Answer 2

a complex carbohydrate which strengthens the cell wall, providing structure

Question 3

what does (cellular) respiration, produced by glucose, do?

Answer 3

releases energy for the plant to carry out its numerous functions

Question 4

what does oils, produced by glucose, do?

Answer 4

energy source, particularly for seeds

Question 5

how sre proteins made from glucose?

Answer 5

glucose + nitrate ions in soil make amino acids and multiple amino acids make proteins

Question 6

what does starch, produced by glucose, do?

Answer 6

complex carbohydrate is long term storage of glucose: compact and insoluble, easily converted back into glucose if photosynthesis fauls e.g. winter or night
