So what happens after Photosynthesis?

The product of Photosynthesis is GLUCOSE.

Glucose can be :

- Used immediately by the leaf cell for respiration to provide energy

- Converted to starch for storage within the leaf

-Converted to sucrose for transport to other parts of plant for example the roots and flower

- Combined with nitrates in the leaf to form amino acids thus allowing the plants to build proteins in order to grow.















                                            Starch stored in cells.
