Glucose is stored in plant cells so it is available when photosynthesis is not happening.
Glucose is joined into long chains to form cellulose because cellulose is needed to make strong cell walls.
When plants need quick energy for active transport or growth, they break down glucose by respiration.
Plants convert glucose into sucrose because sucrose is stable and easily transported in phloem.
To test whether a leaf has stored glucose as starch, students use iodine solution which turns starch blue-black.
During active growth, glucose supplies both carbon skeletons and energy to synthesise new cells.
Glucose can be used to synthesise cellulose for new cell walls during cell division and expansion.
Plants may convert glucose into cell wall material and woody tissue to form long-term structural support.
Plants use glucose to produce nectar and fruits that attract pollinators and seed dispersers.
Glucose is used to synthesise secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, terpenes and phenolics that serve defence or signalling roles.
Plants transport the products of photosynthesis around the plant as a form that moves easily in phloem.
