What substance is made through photosynthesis and is food for the plant?
A
chlorophyll
B
chloroplast
C
glucose
D
dextrose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, food is produced in plants in the form of glucose. The glucose gets converted to a polymeric form of carbohydrate called the starch. Therefore, the food prepared in plants is stored in the form of starch.

Detailed explanation-2: -During photosynthesis, light energy converts carbon dioxide and water (the reactants) into glucose and oxygen (the products).

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.
