Plants that convert excess glucose into oils often have seeds with high energy per gram, useful for germination.
If a plant transports glucose as sucrose, it can deliver both carbon and energy to growing roots and shoots.
When plants make glucose, some is used to produce ATP needed for active transport across membranes.
In cold or dry conditions a plant may convert glucose into osmoprotectants to help cells tolerate stress.
Glucose is used in the formation of fruits to provide energy and building materials for seed development.
Glucose from photosynthesis contributes to plant biomass by forming structural and storage molecules.
Glucose is used to make lipids in plants; these lipids are especially important in seeds as energy reserves.
To test whether a leaf has stored glucose as starch, students use iodine solution which turns starch blue-black.
Glucose can be used to synthesise cellulose for new cell walls during cell division and expansion.
During active growth, glucose supplies both carbon skeletons and energy to synthesise new cells.
Glucose is stored in plant cells so it is available when photosynthesis is not happening.
