GCSE BIOLOGY - Photosynthesis (USES OF GLUCOSE) interactive activity

Please review!

• Interactive activity.
• Can be used as a ‘computer room’ task where students copy and paste the glucose molecule to create the polymers made using glucose, complete the respiration equation and explain how the energy released in respiration is used (muscle contraction, active transport, protein synthesis etc).
• Can be printed and used as a worksheet so draw on the glucose molecules to create the polymers.
• Used with Y10 students studying Photosynthesis as part of the AQA GCSE Biology specification.
• Used RSPCA to help students remember the uses of glucose (RESP, STARCH, PROTEIN, CELLULOSE, AMINO ACIDS).
• Doesn’t include FAT (you could ask higher ability students what is missing? as an extenstion).
