🌱 Knowledge Organiser: How Plants Use Glucose

Key Facts:

Glucose Production: Plants produce glucose during photosynthesis using carbon dioxide, water, and light energy.

Equation: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Four Main Uses of Glucose in Plants:

1. Respiration: Glucose is broken down to release energy for cellular processes

2. Storage as Starch: Excess glucose is converted to starch in roots, stems, and seeds

3. Cellulose Production: Glucose forms cellulose for strong cell walls

4. Making Other Compounds: Combined with nitrates to make amino acids and proteins
