PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The energy plants gain through photosynthesis is stored in-
A
carbon
B
nitrogen
C
carbon dioxide
D
glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process is carried out by plants, algae, and some types of bacteria, which capture energy from sunlight to produce oxygen (O2) and chemical energy stored in glucose (a sugar).

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 changes water and carbon dioxide with radiant energy. A form of sugar called glucose is made. Plants need glucose to live and grow. Extra glucose is stored in the plant as a carbohydrate called starch.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Photosynthesis is the process by which organisms that contain the pigment chlorophyll convert light energy into chemical energy which can be stored in the molecular bonds of organic molecules (e.g., sugars).
