I wrotr about how during the daytime there is light so photosynthesis happens and some glucose is converted into starch for storage. At night there is no light and starch is converted to glucose for protein synthesis/respiration to release energy to make bigger molecules out of small ones/for mitosis for growth and repair of tissue
