Stored Glucose Plants Convert Lipids Fats Oils Seeds

Glucose is stored in plants by converting it into lipids (fats and oils) stored in seeds, or as starch for use when photosynthesis is reduced.

La glucosa se almacena en las plantas convirtiéndola en lípidos (grasas y aceites) en las semillas, o como almidón para su uso cuando la fotosíntesis es menor.

Front How are glucose stored in plants?
Back
  • Convert glucose into lipids (fats and oils) stored in the seeds
  • Stored as starch so it is ready to use when photosynthesis is not happening as much.
