- Respiration releases energy so that they can convert the rest of glucose into useful substances
- Making Cell Walls
- glucose is converted into cellulose for making cell walls which strengthen the cell
- Making Proteins
- Glucose is combined with nitrate ions from the soil to make amino acids. These are then made into proteins.
- Stored in seeds
- The glucose is turned into lipids (fats + oils) for storing in seeds.
