Students are required to know the following;
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.

This resource is OK. They have decided not to do the starch practical, but to show a video of the practical. The main task is making a mind-map. I've actually ended up changing most of it.
Really liked the resource! The PowerPoint was attractive and interactive. Felt there could have been more following the video at the start of the lesson about testing a leaf for starch but generally really good.
