Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is true for the fate of Glucose produced by photosynthesis
A
Used in respiration to make energy
B
Evaporated from the leaf
C
Leaves through the stomata
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It can be broken down during the process of respiration, releasing energy stored in the glucose molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose can used as a substrate and broken down in plant cells by the process of respiration. The chemical energy released by respiration can be used by the plant for cellular activities such as protein synthesis or cell division.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main end product of photosynthesis is carbohydrates. It is a crucial process that succours in the preparation of food by plants in nature. The glucose produced by plants is reserved in the form of starch.

Detailed explanation-4: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.
