Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is true for the fate of Glucose produced by photosynthesis
A
Used in respiration to make energy
B
Evaporated from the leaf
C
Leaves through the stomata
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It can be converted into chemicals required for growth of plant cells such as cellulose. It can be converted into starch, a storage molecule, that can be converted back to glucose when the plant requires it. It can be broken down during the process of respiration, releasing energy stored in the glucose molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose can used as a substrate and broken down in plant cells by the process of respiration. The chemical energy released by respiration can be used by the plant for cellular activities such as protein synthesis or cell division.

Detailed explanation-3: -Rather, plants use sunlight, water, and the gases in the air to make glucose, which is a form of sugar that plants need to survive.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide.
