Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, food is produced in plants in the form of glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose made by the process of photosynthesis may be used in three ways: It can be converted into chemicals required for growth of plant cells such as cellulose. It can be converted into starch, a storage molecule, that can be converted back to glucose when the plant requires it.

Detailed explanation-5: -The first product of photosynthesis is sugar and it is converted into starch in all plants. The initial process of photosynthesis is the decomposition of water into oxygen, which is released and hydrogen.
