Fate Of Glucose
:smiley:
forms
Fats
used in cellular respiration
for synthesis of new protoplasm
For storage
Reacts with
nitrates and other mineral salts
to form Amino Acids in leaves
Used to form proteins
used for synthesis of new protoplasm in leaves
Excess is transported to other parts of plants
for storage as proteins
For synthesis of new protoplasm
converted to
Sucrose
Transported into other parts of plant or to storage organs, for example, seeds, stem tubers or root tubers via phloem
Converted to starch or other forms of storage compounds at the storage organs, depending on the plant
might be converted back to glucose
Used immediately
to form cellulose cell walls
For cellular respiration to provide energy for cellular activities
Starch
In daylight
The photosynthesis rate is so big that sugars are formed faster then they can remove so the excess glucose is converted into starch
In Darkness
Photosynthesis stops so the starch is converted by enzyms back into glucose
Photos
Glucose

Plants
Dicots
Monocots
