How plants use Glucose

?
Once Glucose is made from P, glucose can be...
stored as starch
1 of 14
It is transported by the phloem to ther parts of the plant as...
all plants require glucose for respiration
2 of 14
The growing shoot needs glucose to...
release chemical energy to make new cells
3 of 14
The Phloem transports sugars made from P from the leaves...
to the rest of the plant
4 of 14
They are carried to all areas of the plant, including...
growing reigons where the sugars are needed for making plant material
5 of 14
The Xylem carries water and...
mineral ions from the soil around the plant
6 of 14
Glucose is soluble and if it was stored in plant cells, it could affect...
the way water moves into and out of the cells
7 of 14
Starch is insoluble which means that plants can store large amounts of starch...
in their cells without it having any affect on the water balance
8 of 14
Glucose is also used along with nitrates to produce...
amino acids which are needed to make proteins
9 of 14
These proteins are used for structures such as...
enzymes
10 of 14

chlorophyll for P
11 of 14
Glucose is also important in cellulose...
production in cell walls
12 of 14
Starch stores are found in all cells but especially in...
the seed
13 of 14
This store of starch id broken down when...
the seed begins to germinate and is an energy store until the new plant is able to photosynthesise
