The sugar that is produced in photosynthesis is a glucose.
- Glucose can be used to provide energy for cellular activity.
- Excess of glucose is transformed into starch. Starch is transported into storage organs.
- Glucose can be transformed into cellulose, pectin, and chitin. These molecules are structural materials for the cell walls.
- Fats and amino acids can be formed from glucose. These molecules can serve as structural materials or can be stored.
Potential energy because when your body breaks down the molecules the energy is released that it can use to do work, like walk or think.
