7/10 what is glucose used for in plants? for growth and survival to absorb more sunlight to produce more oxygen
Plants use glucose for growth and survival. Glucose is a product of photosynthesis. It can be converted into starch for storage, used in cellular respiration to release energy for various metabolic processes like growth (e.g., cell division, elongation), and for the synthesis of other important molecules such as cellulose (for cell - wall formation). Absorbing more sunlight is mainly the function of chlorophyll (involved in the light - dependent reactions of photosynthesis), and while glucose is related to oxygen production (as a by - product of photosynthesis where glucose is made), the primary use of glucose in plants is for growth and survival.
