Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
After photosynthesis, plants store their energy as ____
A
chlorophyll
B
pigment
C
glucose (sugar)
D
Oxygen
Explanation: 

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: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The glucose produced by a plant through photosynthesis can be used for energy generation within the cells of the plant itself. It can also be converted to starch to be stored as energy, where these stores are used as needed.
