How Plants Use Glucose - GCSE Biology

[@nyralee8172]

This video is so simple and concise. I'm doing IGCSE as a private candidate and had been stuck on memorizing the fate of glucose for the past hour. You cleared up the concept for me in like, three minutes and now I can remember it like I remember my name! Thanks a bunch for your help and I hope you keep up the good work!

S-Starch C-Cellulose A-Amino Acids R-Respiration F-Fats and oils Fosraac is good but here is SCARF if it doesn't stick in your head :)

My teacher linked your video and I learned more from you that I did him!

I'm so glad!

Thank so much for the video i learnt lots about long division

[@stefanushaishonga1676]

Thank you I will stick to FOSRAAC I learned so much here

[@emmatheteachie]

That's wonderful, I hope it works for you :) thanks!

currently learning from home and was linked this video..... you have no idea how much this helped!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

[@emmatheteachie]

You're very welcome :)

tahnk you so much this is so ez to understnad now

Hi can you do chemistry and physics videos 😊

So useful...thank u so muchh

since glucose converts into starch and then back into glucose, would you call it glucose synthesis?(because its in reverse)

[@emmatheteachie]

That's a good question. In Biology, the term "synthesis" tends to be used when something new is being made, i.e. it's being built from smaller molecules. For example in protein synthesis, the protein is being made from many smaller amino acid molecules. Because starch is actually just a long chain of ready-made glucose molecules, we don't use the word synthesis for the description of the conversion of starch to glucose, because it's not "new" glucose that is being formed from smaller molecules. The synthesis of "new" glucose from smaller molecules actually has another name - gluconeogenesis - and if you take AQA A-Level Biology you'll learn this term.

Are you considering doing more videos ?

[@emmatheteachie]

I'll definitely be running some live streams in the run up to exams (if they go ahead!) but probably not many more GCSE videos for this exam series, as I've already covered Paper 1 and Paper 2 for Combined Science Biology which is what I wanted to do :)

Great teacher

[@emmatheteachie]

Thank you! 😃

[@TonyStark-kh4eb]

So in short, organisms need glucose to have materials to make new cells and live longer right??? What does ATP do in humans??? It provides energy... But for what?? For cell division and making of new cells?? Then when plants can make cell producing products like fats and cellulose from glucose, why we are not be to do it and why do we even require ATP for it??? what is the importance of ATP then???.. I am totally confused... Please help me out... Reply please....
