What is another name for the food or sugar made during photosynthesis?
A
glucose
B
sucrose
C
syrup
D
sodium chloride
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -(adenosine triphosphate) chemical found in most living cells and used for energy. Used by the majority of plants, it involves producing a three-carbon compound called 3-phosphoglyceric acid during the Calvin Cycle, which goes on to become a sugar called glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -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: -This process is called photosynthesis, which means ‘making out of light’. The foods are called glucose and starch.

Detailed explanation-4: -But where does glucose come from? In contrast to humans and other animals, plants can produce glucose through a process known as photosynthesis. The green parts of plants use sunlight, water, and the gas carbon dioxide from the air to produce glucose and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Green plants manufacture glucose through a process that requires light, known as photosynthesis. This process takes place in the leaf chloroplasts.
