Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where is glucose made in plants?
A
thylakoid
B
thylakoid membrane
C
stroma
D
outside the chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Glucose is produced in the stroma of the chloroplast of leaves. Plants produce glucose through the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is mainly carried out by the mesophyll cells of the leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -After carbon dioxide enters the leaf through stomata it moves into the mesophyll cells where photosynthesis occurs and glucose is constructed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inside the chloroplasts within leaves, light, water (H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2) are transformed into energy and sugar (glucose). Using water, sunlight is converted into energy-storing molecules within the plant cells. The energy from these molecules is then used to create glucose from CO2.

Detailed explanation-4: -The interior space that surrounds the thylakoids is filled with a fluid called stroma. This is where carbon dioxide is used to produce glucose, the second part of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -1 Answer. The production of glucose takes place during the light independent reactions (Calvin cycle) in the stroma of the chloroplast.
