Use Of Glucose From Photosynthesis Flashcards
Where is starch stored in the plant and why
The roots , stem and leaves to provide energy when photosynthesis isn’t possible (e.g at night)
What vital processes is glucose used for
Cell division
Protein synthesis
Active transport
Synthesis of cellulose?
Glucose is used to form cellulose,a structural carbon hydrate.
What does cellulose do
Strengthen the cell wall providing a rigidity and support
What does combining glucose and nitrates make
Amino acids
What does glucose combine with to make amino acids
Nitrate ions
Where are the nitrates that combine with glucose from
Absorbed from the soil
What are amino acids used for in plants
To synthesise protein needed for growth and repair
What is glucose converted to for energy storage
Lipids
Why is glucose converted into lipids for
Energy storage
Where are lipids stored and why
Stored in seeds to provide energy for germination
Formation of sucrose?
Glucose is converted into sucrose for transport through the plants phloem
Where is sucrose distributed
To points of the plant where energy or storage is needed
Production of bio molecules?
Glucose is used in the production of compounds like vitamins and pigments (e.g chlorophyll)
