Glucose is joined into long chains to form cellulose because cellulose is needed to make strong cell walls.
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.
During active growth, glucose supplies both carbon skeletons and energy to synthesise new cells.
Excess glucose in seeds and fruits is often stored in a form that is high in energy for the seedling.
During germination, a seed uses stored glucose to supply energy for growth before it can photosynthesise.
If a plant transports glucose as sucrose, it can deliver both carbon and energy to growing roots and shoots.
Glucose is used to synthesise secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, terpenes and phenolics that serve defence or signalling roles.
Plants that convert excess glucose into oils often have seeds with high energy per gram, useful for germination.
Plants convert glucose into sucrose because sucrose is stable and easily transported in phloem.
In cold or dry conditions a plant may convert glucose into osmoprotectants to help cells tolerate stress.
