BiologyCells, tissues and organsGCSEAQA Created by: jamesmarkwallisCreated on: 26-04-15 10:29 Give the five ways in which plants use glucose Plants use glucose for Respiration, Making Cell Walls, Making Proteins, Storing in Seeds and Storing in Scarch 1 of 7 Where do plants manufacture glucose? Plants manufacture glucose in their leaves 2 of 7 What is Glucose covered in for making strong cell walls? Cellulose 3 of 7 How do plants make proteins from glucose? Glucose is combined with nitrate ions, to make amino acids, which are then made into proteins 4 of 7 What is Glucose turned into to be stored in seeds? Glucose is turned into lipids (fats and oils) for storing in seeds 5 of 7 When is glucose stored as starch? Glucose is stored as starch ready for use when photosynthesis isn't happening, like in winter. 6 of 7 Why is storing glucose as starch useful? Starch is insoluble, unlike normal starch which would draw in water and swell up 7 of 7
