Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose is used for respiration (aerobic and anaerobic). It is also converted into starch so that it can be stored for future energy needs. It is stored in the stem, leaves and roots. Glucose is also used to produce fat/oils to be stored, particularly in seeds.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch. Cellulose is used in building cell walls. Starch is stored in seeds and other plant parts as a food source. That’s why some foods that we eat, like rice and grains, are packed with starch!
Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose can used as a substrate and broken down in plant cells by the process of respiration. The chemical energy released by respiration can be used by the plant for cellular activities such as protein synthesis or cell division.
Detailed explanation-4: -WHAT DO PLANTS USE GLUCOSE FOR? RESPIRATION, MAKING FRUITS, MAKING CELL WALLS, MAKING PROTEINS, STORED IN SEEDS AND STORED AS STARCH.
Detailed explanation-5: -Since glucose is a reactive compound thus plants do not store their food in the form of glucose. Therefore, before storing the food, plants convert it into sucrose and it is stored further.
