Detailed explanation-1: -Inside the chloroplasts within leaves, light, water (H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2) are transformed into energy and sugar (glucose). Using water, sunlight is converted into energy-storing molecules within the plant cells. The energy from these molecules is then used to create glucose from CO2.

Detailed explanation-2: -The production of glucose takes place during the light independent reactions (Calvin cycle) in the stroma of the chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a plant cell, chloroplast makes sugar during the process of photosynthesis converting light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose. In mitochondria, through the process of cellular respiration breaks down sugar into energy that plant cells can use to live and grow.

Detailed explanation-4: -This process takes place in the leaf chloroplasts. Carbon dioxide and water molecules enter a sequence of chemical reactions within the chloroplasts. The end products of these reactions are glucose and oxygen gas, which is released into the air.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
