Use of glucose in plants 2.5 / 5 based on 2 ratings ? BiologyGCSEAQA Created by: Former MemberCreated on: 14-04-13 09:57 What are the 5 ways glucose is used? For respiration, making cell walls, stored in seeds & stored as starch 1 of 9 What is glucose converted into (for cell walls)? Cellulose for making strong cell walls 2 of 9 What can glucose be converted in to for respiration? To build new cells & grow 3 of 9 How to make protein for plant? Glucose is combined with nitrate ions to make amino acids, which are then made in to proteins 4 of 9 Where is the nitrate ions from? They are absorbed from the soil 5 of 9 Why is glucose stored in seeds? To be turned in to lipids (fats & oils) 6 of 9 Where is the starch stored? In roots, stems & leaves, ready for when photosynthesis isn't happening (e.g. in the winter) 7 of 9 The use of starch? It is insoluble, which makes it better for storing than glucose (if cell had lots of glucose it would draw lots of water & swell up) 8 of 9 Where is glucose made? In the leaves 9 of 9
