Q

Making amino acids to make proteins

A

Plants use some of the glucose made in photosynthesis to make amino acids. These amino acids can then be used to make proteins for growth theses proteins contain ( hydrogen oxygen and also nitrogen ) which the get from the soil these ions are taken in by active transport through root hairs these nitrogen ions can be transported all over the plant and combined with glucose to make amino acids

Q

The process of photosynthesis

A

Some of the energy in the light is absorbed by the chloroplast

The chlorophyll molecule then releases the trapped energy

The released energy makes carbon dioxide combine with water

This is done with the help of enzymes in the chloroplasts

The causes glucose to be made

The glucose contains energy from light

Thus the light energy is converted into chemical energy in photosynthesis
