How Plants Use Glucose - GCSE Biology
There are five main ways that plants use glucose. Find out my tip for remembering them here! And download the accompanying workbook from www.emmatheteachie.co.uk to maximise your revision.

**This video is for the Bioenergetics topic of GCSE Biology and Combined Science (9-1) - it is written for the AQA specification but overlaps with other exam boards.**
My made-up word is FOSRAAC - each letter stands for a word and together they make up the 5 uses of glucose in plants. I’ll take you through each one.
If you don’t like the word FOSRAAC (I’m not offended, it is made-up and won’t work for everyone / possibly anyone else!!!) then a mnemonic is another great way to remember the uses.
In my Bioenergetics Studyalong Workbook, I provide a page explaining how to do this - check it out on www.emmatheteachie.co.uk.
I hope this video helps you understand this topic a little better, let me know if you enjoyed it and what else you’d like to see from me!

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 :)

Thank so much for the video i learnt lots about long division
Thank you I will stick to FOSRAAC I learned so much here

POV your teach made u watch this
tahnk you so much this is so ez to understnad now
So useful...thank u so muchh
I love the music
since glucose converts into starch and then back into glucose, would you call it glucose synthesis?(because its in reverse)

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

Are you considering doing more videos ?

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 :)
Hi can you do chemistry and physics videos 😊
Great teacher

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....
