What are the names of the monomers used in the synthesis of amylopectin and cellulose?
Cellulose mainly consists of beta-glucose monomers, unlike starch which is an alpha-glucose polymer.
What are the two molecules that serve as starting materials for glucose synthesis?
Carbon dioxide and water are the two molecules that serve as starting materials for glucose synthesis.
Chloroplasts use solar energy to synthesis what?
They synthesize glucose using solar energy. Glucose is neeeded for respiration
What is glucose that is not needed immediately for energy stored in?
Glucose is stored as a type of starch in seeds. Some plants also store it in specialized organs inside of the plant.
Gluconeogenesis describes the conversion of what?
This is the process by which the body obtains its needed glucose supplies by making it from protein rather than taking it directly from the blood sugar which is dumped into the bloodstream by the ingestion of sugars or the breakdown of starches.

What is the synthesis of glucose from smaller precursors called?
Gluconeogenesis
Site of glucose synthesis?
stroma matrix of the chloroplast.
What hormone enhances protein synthesis decreases glucose use and promotes the destruction of fats?
enhances protein synthesis, decreases glucose use, and promotes the destruction of fats
What are the names of transportation tubes within a plant?
Xylem to bring water from the roots through the plant. Phloem to bring glucose from it's point of synthesis to where it is needed in the plant.
How is glucose an important factor in lactose synthesis?
Lactose is a disaccharide, made up of a bonded glucose and galactose.
Through photo synthesis plants convert these ingredients into what?
Glucose
