Glucose is combined with nitrates to make amino acids

Glucose is converted to cellulose making cell walls

It is located outside the cell membrane and provides structural support

Some plants use some of their glucose for respiration.

Respiration occurs in the mitochondria in the cells.

Glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy

This release energy which allows them to convert the rest of the glucose into other substances that can build new cells and grow.

They also need a few minerals from the soil.

Glucose which is soluble is converted into insoluble starch for storage.
The starch can then be stored in the roots, leaves and the stems- ready for when photosynthesis isn’t happening.
Potato and carrot plants store a lot of starch underground over the winter so a new plant can grow from it the following spring- we are eating the swollen storage organs.

Glucose, along with another sugar called fructose is turned into sucrose for storing in fruits.
Fruits deliberately taste nice so that animals will eat them and spread the seeds all over the place in their poo.

Glucose can be turned into lipids for storing in seeds

For example, sunflower seeds contain a lot of oil. We use this to make sunflower oil and margarine

A seed is a small embryonic plant enclosed in a covering called the seed coat, usually with some stored food (starch or lipids)
