Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The glucose made in photosynthesis is ____
A
converted into insoluble substances like oils, fats and starch for storage.
B
used in respiration to release energy
C
converted into other substances in plants. For example:Cellulose for cell walls Proteins for growth and repair.
D
All of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Glucose is required for respiration. As we will discuss later, glucose is a reactant in the reaction for respiration, which produces energy. One of the uses of glucose from photosynthesis is that it can be used for respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Detailed Solution. The correct answer is 18. In the process of Photosynthesis, 18 molecules of A.T.P are involved in the synthesis of each molecule of Glucose. The formation of one molecule of glucose this cycle repeats 6 times and the required amount of ATP is 18.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose has a chemical formula of: C6H12O6 That means glucose is made of 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms. You will be building one type of sugar called glucose.
