AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose. The plant then releases the oxygen back into the air, and stores energy within the glucose molecules. Inside the plant cell are small organelles called chloroplasts, which store the energy of sunlight.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants store glucose in the form of insoluble starch in leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -The energy from light causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water and reorganizes them to make the sugar (glucose) and oxygen gas. After the sugar is produced, it is then broken down by the mitochondria into energy that can be used for growth and repair.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose is stored as polymeric glucan, in animals as glycogen and in plants as starch.

Detailed explanation-5: -Producing Carbohydrates (Photosynthesis) In plants, glucose is stored in the form of starch, which can be broken down back into glucose via cellular respiration in order to supply ATP.
