Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where is glucose made in plants?
A
thylakoid
B
thylakoid membrane
C
stroma
D
outside the chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose is produced in the stroma of the chloroplast of leaves. Plants produce glucose through the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma and uses the ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions to fix carbon dioxide, producing three-carbon sugars-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, or G3P, molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Calvin cycle occurs in the second stage of photosynthesis. This stage takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast. In the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide is used to produce glucose (sugar) using the energy stored in ATP and NADPH.

Detailed explanation-4: -During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the Sun to make sugar molecules and oxygen. These sugar molecules are the basis for more complex molecules made by the photosynthetic cell, such as glucose.
