Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does photosynthesis form in a leaf first?
A
Cellulose
B
Starch
C
Fat
D
Sugar
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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: -glucose and fructose are together the first sugars of synthesis in green leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -During the first stage, the energy of light is absorbed and used to drive a series of electron transfers, resulting in the synthesis of ATP and the electron-donor-reduced nicotine adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH).

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The energy from light causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water and reorganizes them to make the sugar (glucose) and oxygen gas. After the sugar is produced, it is then broken down by the mitochondria into energy that can be used for growth and repair.
