The glucose produced in photosynthesis may be: used for respiration; converted into insoluble starch for storage; used to produce fat or oil for storage; used to produce cellulose, which strengthens the cell wall; used to produce amino acids for protein synthesis. • To produce proteins, plants also use nitrate ions that are absorbed from the soil.
