Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In photosynthesis, how is chemical energy stored?
A
ATP
B
Glucose
C
Oxygen
D
Carbon Dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants synthesise glucose during the process of photosynthesis. The excess of glucose is stored in the form of starch. It is stored in roots, leaves, tubers, bulbs.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. Cellulose is used in building cell walls. Starch is stored in seeds and other plant parts as a food source.
