Plants make their own organic moleculesThe result of photosynthesis is glucose, then plants use the
glucose to make other small organic molecules (MONOMERS)
GLUCOSE (SUGAR)
AMINO ACID
Plus ammonia
FATTY ACID
GLYCEROL
Comparing organic moleculesPotatoes are made of starch, protein, fiber and fat
POLYMERS
FATS(LIPID)
PROTEIN
STARCH
FIBER (CELLULOSE)

Monomers (small organic molecules)
Red = amino acid
Yellow= glucose
Green wide = fatty acid
Green narrow = glycerol
Starting points: • Put glucose, fatty acids and glycerol in the potato plant’s
leaves.• Put amino acids in the potato plant’s roots.
Glucose, fatty acids, glycerol
Amino acids
Move the glucose, fatty acids, glycerol and amino acids to the potato through the phloem.
Glucose, fatty acids, glycerol and amino acids
What happens inside the growing potato?
Now that these materials have reached the potato, how does the plant use them to make a potato?

Polymers (large organic molecules)
FATS (LIPIDS) =link 3 fatty acid monomers to 1 glycerol
PROTEIN = 5 amino acid monomers
CELLULOSE (FIBER) = 6 glucose monomers
STARCH = 6 glucose monomers

Identify chemical energy at an atomic molecular scale:
Which molecules have chemical energy?Molecules made
in photosynthesis:
Molecules made in potato cells:
Starch in a potato:
Molecules made in plant roots:
Example: GLUCOSE
Example: AMINO ACID
Example: PROTEIN
Example:CARBOHYDRATES
