Описание: 🌱 Biology Club – How Plants Use Carbohydrates 🌱

Welcome back to the Biology Club 🎓✨
Photosynthesis doesn’t just make glucose and oxygen — it creates the fuel of life. In this episode, we explore the amazing story of how plants use carbohydrates in different ways to grow, survive, and reproduce. 🌍💚

🔬 What you’ll learn in this Biology Club session:
⚡ Energy release → Glucose broken down by respiration to power active transport, protein building, and growth.
📦 Storage as starch → Insoluble, safe, and easy to turn back into glucose when needed.
🚚 Transport as sucrose → Carried in phloem to roots, fruits, and flowers, then converted back into glucose.
🧱 Building cellulose → Strong cell walls made from glucose chains.
🍯 Nectar production → Sweet reward for pollinators, ensuring reproduction.
💪 Amino acids & proteins → Glucose + nitrate ions = proteins for growth.
🌱 Chlorophyll → Glucose helps make this green pigment with magnesium + nitrogen, essential for photosynthesis.

🌿 Why this matters:
Glucose isn’t just sugar — it’s energy, structure, transport, attraction, and growth all rolled into one. Every leaf, every flower, every seed depends on these carbohydrate pathways.
