Glucose Amnd Starch Flashcards
What’s is the first use of glucose begins with R
Respiration process that releases energy from glucose
Second use of glucose begins with L
Lipids the storage of glucose found in seeds
Use of glucose starts with C
Cellulose used to make plant cell walls
Use of glucose starts with P
Plants add nitrates to glucose to make proteins + use those to grow
Use of glucose starts with S
Starch the storage if glucose found in leaves
How can we show that a leaf is photosynthesising Step 1
Put leaf in boiling hot waterboth to to kill it and stop all chemical reactions
How can we show that a leaf is photosynthesising Step 2
Pout leaf in test tube with ethanol and return tube to boiling water both for five minutes
( this removes chlorophyll )
How can we show that a leaf is photosynthesising Step 3
Wash the leaf in water to soften and re hydrate the leaf so that you can lay it flat
Flood the leaf with iodine solution
If iodine solution stays yellow - no starch
If iodine solution turns blue black - starch is present
