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: -Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose. The plant then releases the oxygen back into the air, and stores energy within the glucose molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -The flow of energy through living organisms begins with photosynthesis. This process stores energy from sunlight in the chemical bonds of glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Producing Carbohydrates (Photosynthesis) 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-4: -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).

Detailed explanation-5: -Plants store glucose in starch, which is a polymer of the alternative anomer of glucose. It’s a significant energy reserve that can be instantly summoned when needed.
