What do plants do with sugar?
A
Release it through their stoma
B
Eat it for energy
C
Convert it into oxygen
D
Convert it into water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Inside the plant cell are small organelles called chloroplasts, which store the energy of sunlight.

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: -Plants produce sugar in their leaves, but these leaves do not taste sweet. That is because the sugar does not remain in the leaves. Plants use sugar to grow, and it may also be transported to the roots, seeds, stalks, or fruits for storage.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars.

Detailed explanation-5: -Some of the sugar is also stored for use later, by being converted into starch. Plants make, and store temporary supplies of starch in their leaves, which they use during the night when there is no light available for photosynthesis.
