The majority of the plants sugar and carbohydrates come from the process of photosynthesis in the chloroplast.
Chloroplasts are organelle found in the cells of green tissues. Within the chloroplast, light energy is harvested to combine carbon dioxide and water in order to synthesize a three-carbon sugar called glyceralderhyde-3-phosphate. This sugar is the source of almost all carbohydrates in the plant, as well as the carbon backbones of many other biomolecules.
The majority of glucose, sucrose, starch and cellulose comes from the photosynthesis of glyceralderhyde-3-phosphate.

What compounds do plants use to make glucose molecules and where do they get it from?
Plants use the air, water and sunlight to make glucose molecules.
Do plants use some of the sugar molecules they produce?
Yes they do use SOME of the sugar they use. They either use it right away or use it for food. The rest that they don't use, they deposit to the soil to increase its furtility. i hope this was helpful.
Do plants need ATP to make food?
Yes. Both plants and animals have mitochondria and can synthesize ATP there. Plants, though, make the molecules they submit to the respiration process while animals have to ingest such molecules.
What does a cell use for long-term energy storage?
Starch provides long-term energy storage for plants. The energy for plants is stored in the sugar molecules. Starch can contain 500 to a few hundred thousand sugar molecules.
How Does carbon dioxide provide the carbon atoms that are incorporated into sugars in photosynthesis?
I am guessing a bit here, but sugar molecules are produced in plants and plants get their carbon atoms from carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere.
Plants pipes that transport sugar molecules?
plants "pipes" that transports sugar molecules are called phloem
Plants cannot make sugar molecules for energy without...?
water sunlight carbon dioxide
What molecules make up carbohaydreates?
Sugar molecules make up carbohydrates
What do green plants store in the form of glucose in the leaves?
Sugar molecules.
A type of sugar stored by plants?
Glucose is stored in starch molecules.
What compounds do plants use to make glucose molecules and where do they get it from?
Plants use the air, water and sunlight to make glucose molecules.
Does soil have sugar molecules?
NO sugar isnt from the soil becuase Plants use photosynthesis to turn Where_do_plants_get_their_foodenergy into sugar for the plant to eat.
What provide long-term energy storage?
Starch provides long-term energy storage for plants. The energy for plants is stored in the sugar molecules. Starch can contain 500 to a few hundred thousand sugar molecules.
What is the sugar that is removed from plants?
Plant sugar is "sucrose", made up of the simpler sugar molecules "glucose" and "fructose" (both produced by photosynthesis).
How does the eukaryotic cell make energy that requires for its many activities?
The mistochondria burn sugar molecules~ (Plato) :3
Do plants use some of the sugar molecules they produce?
Yes they do use SOME of the sugar they use. They either use it right away or use it for food. The rest that they don't use, they deposit to the soil to increase its furtility. i hope this was helpful.
What raw material do plants need to built sugar molecules?
Carbon dioxide and water
