Answer:

A function of glucose in plant cells is it is used during cellular respiration in the mitochondria.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main function of glucose is to provide energy for plant growth and development during cellular respiration inside mitochondria.

Glucose is a product of the process called photosynthesis in plants. Since the plants are autotrophs or the producers they synthesize their food (i.e.glucose) through light energy from sun, and water & carbon dioxide from its surrounding.

Many molecules of glucose are connected by chemical bonds and are stored as starch inside the plant tissues.
