Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
One important sugar that results from photosynthesis is CELLULOSE.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -True or false: one important sugar that results from photosynthesis is cellulose. False one important sugar is glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose, the monomeric constituent of cellulose, is a product of photosynthesis (8); thus, cellulose also accounts for a vast pool of chemically fixed carbon dioxide (9).

Detailed explanation-3: -Used by the majority of plants, it involves producing a three-carbon compound called 3-phosphoglyceric acid during the Calvin Cycle, which goes on to become a sugar called glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -“Cellulose is the most abundant, naturally produced polymer, and its building block, glucose, is a direct product of photosynthesis that captures carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, ‘’ said researcher Jochen Zimmer of UVA’s Department of Molecular Physiology and Biological Physics.

Detailed explanation-5: -Yes, Glucose is the main product, which is carbohydrate or simple sugar release during the process of photosynthesis.
