NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, light energy converts carbon dioxide and water (the reactants) into glucose and oxygen (the products).

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food. 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: -Glucose (C6H12O6) is one of the most important monosaccharides, which is synthesized during photosynthesis and serves as the ‘fuel’ and source of energy, stored as a polymer glycogen in animals and as starch in plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -During photosynthesis, light energy (sunlight) combines with the reactants-water and carbon dioxide-to form new products: glucose (sugar) and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glucose is a monosaccharide, or simple sugar, with the chemical formula C6H12O6. Glucose represents the primary reactant used during cellular respiration, in which ATP is produced.
