Photosynthesis: Uses of Glucose 🌿 GCSE Biology Learning & Revision
Manage episode 477263548 series 3139280
This episode explains how plants utilise glucose created during photosynthesis.
A major use of glucose is for respiration, providing the energy a plant needs. Glucose can also be transformed into starch for energy storage, particularly in roots, stems and leaves.
Furthermore, it is converted into cellulose to strengthen cell walls, a process vital for rapidly growing plants.
We also note the conversion of glucose into fats, oils and proteins, all essential for development and repair; for the final transformation, a nitrogen source from the soil is required.
