What does sugar glucose represent ?

A):monosaccharide

B):disaccharide

C):polysaccharide

The correct answer would be A) 

Monosaccharide which is   the most basic units 

of carbohydrates. They are the simplest form of 

sugar and are usually colorless, water-soluble, 

crystalline solids. Some monosaccharides have 

a sweet taste. Examples of monosaccharides 

include glucose (dextrose), fructose   and 

galactose. 

Plants and Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis takes place inside plant cells in 

small things called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts 

(mostly found in the mesophyll layer) contain a 

green substance called chlorophyll. Below are 

the other parts of the cell that work with the 

chloroplast to make photosynthesis happen.

source of the carbon in the sugars made by 

plants

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from the air.

CO2+H2O-->H6C12O6+O2 is the fomula

what reactant in photosynthesis does the oxygen 

released plants comes?

Photosynthesis. Using the suns energy green 

plants convert carbon dioxide and water into 

simple sugars and oxygen. Along with carbon 

dioxide, plants also need water, which is gathered 

by the plants roots, to make food through the 

process of photosynthesis. The stomata allows 

oxygen to be released through this process. This 

oxygen is an important exchange for all living 

things. Plants take in the carbon dioxide and give 

off the oxygen that we need in order to breathe

what organelle does photosynthesis occur?

The inner area of a chloroplast where the light-

independent reactions occur. The stroma is the 

water-based, fluid-filled area of the 

chloroplast. Thylakoid. A membrane-bound 

compartment inside of the chloroplast where 

the light-dependent reactions of 

photosynthesis occur.

Where do plants get the energy for 

photosynthesis?

the energy is harvested from the sun or any 

source of light that alerts the plant's light 

reactors, which turns it to chemical energy 

which will be in a Glycosidic bond formed from 

the water and the carbon dioxide it has taken 

during the earlier stage of Photosynthesis. 

Where is this energy stored in glucose?

the break down of glucose process called 

glycolysis creates ATP, cells energy 

source,along with co factors used in the 

electron transport chain to also make ATP 

process that breaks down sugars to release 

energy to do cellular work.

Cells first undergo glycolysis, where sugars are 

broken down into Pyruvic Acid. That pyruvic 

acid is used in two forms of processes: aerobic 

and anaerobic respiration, which use oxygen 

and no oxygen respectively. Aerobic 

Respiration is what the human body relies on 

since it creates the most ATP.
