What are the main uses of Glucose in plants?
A
Respiration, storage of insoluble starch, making proteins, producing lipids for storage and weakening the cell wall.
B
Respiration, storage of insoluble starch, making proteins, making cell walls, and producing lipids for storage.
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose’s role in cellular respiration is essential, as it provides the building blocks for ultimately creating ATP, the energy currency used by living organisms. The structure of glucose with carbons numbered. Cellular respiration refers to the breakdown of organic molecules into energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -In plants, glucose is stored in the form of starch, which can be broken down back into glucose via cellular respiration in order to supply ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose is joined with nitrates absorbed from the soil to make amino acids . These are joined together to make proteins during protein synthesis .
