SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -So, the main purpose of photosynthesis is to make food and produce energy for the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -The glucose produced in photosynthesis may be: Used for respiration (both aerobic and anaerobic) Converted into insoluble starch for storage in the stems, leaves and roots. Used to produce fat or oil for storage (especially in seeds)

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose can used as a substrate and broken down in plant cells by the process of respiration. The chemical energy released by respiration can be used by the plant for cellular activities such as protein synthesis or cell division.
