Glucose Use
- manufacture glucose in leaves
-
Respiration
-
use glucose
-
releases energy
- rest of glucose + minerals
- other substances for growth
- build new cells
- grow
-
animals
-
eat plants
- glucose = respiration
-
Make fruit
- fructose in fruit
-
fructose & glucose
-
convert to sucrose
- stored in fuits
-
taste nice
-
eaten
- spread seed in poo
-
Make proteins
-
glucose + nitrates
-
make : amino acids
- convert to proteins
-
Stored in Seeds
-
convert to starch
-
roots
- carrot
- potato
- regrows after winter
- stems
- leaves
-
insoluble!
- better for storing
- storage cells not bloated by osmosis
-
Minerals
-
soil / roots
- carbohydrates
- mineral salts
- mineral ions
-
nitrates
-
amino acids
- convert to proteins
-
magnesium
-
chlorophyll
- needed for photosynthesis
- potassium
- phosphates
-
Deficiency Symptoms
-
lack nutrients
- soil
- can not travel to find more
-
nitrate deficient
-
proteins not made
- stunted growth
-
magnesium deficient
-
less chlorophyll
- yellow leaves
-
to long without minerals
- dead
-
caused by monoculture
-
one type of crop
- year on year growth
- same minerals used
- poor growth
- reduced yeild
-
add fertilizers to replenish
- expensive
- manure
- nitrates
- nitrogenous waste
- excreted from animals
- DNA
Cell Membrane
enzymes (photosynthesis, respiration)
