Explain why plants stop producing glucose when the sun goes down?

The energy used to create glucose from carbon dioxide and water comes from the sun, so when the sun sets, this part of the process ends. However, this glucose is then used as energy to create ATP, which is what cells themselves use for energy. This part of the process doesn't need the sun.

What is broken down into CO2 and H2O during cellular respiration?
Glucose is broken down due to cellular respiration.
What stores more potential energy one molecule of glucose or two molecules of pyruvic acid explain?
One molecule of glucose, because 2 ATPs are formed when glucose is broken down to pyruvic acid.
Do both animals and plants respire?
Yes. They both use cellular respiration to break down Glucose. However, only plants use Photosynethsis.
What is The process by which carbon dioxide and water are converted to glucose and oxygen is called?
Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down glucose (from food) to produce ATP (a form of energy the cell can use). The type of respiration that occurs in the presence of oxygen is known as aerobic respiration.
A green plant absorbs a toxic substance that completely blocks the production of ATP. how would this most likely affect the dark reactions?
The light reactions will slow down.
Does photosynthesis breaks down glucose?
No, photosynthesis is the plant process that creates the glucose for the plants as food.
Why organelle in both plants and animals breaks down glucose?
Hey brake down the glucose(sugar) into "ATP" which then the cell uses for energy. Hope that helps
How is glucose stored in leaves?
When glucose gets broken down in animals and plants during respiration, stored energy is released in cells.
What is broken down into CO2 and H2O during cellular respiration?
Glucose is broken down due to cellular respiration.
How do you explain when we add starch solution saliva dilute alkali and did not presence of starch and presence of glucose?
The enzyme amylase in the saliva broke the starch down into glucose.
How did the carbon cycle begin?
plants take in carbon dioxide and produce glucose animals consume plants animals break down glucose and release carbon dioxide
A sugar which is broken down in a series of steps to gain the energy to make ATP is?
The process of producing ATP is called cellular respiration. This is done by breaking down glucose into carbon dioxide and water and releasing the chemical energy in the bonds.
What stores more potential energy one molecule of glucose or two molecules of pyruvic acid explain?
One molecule of glucose, because 2 ATPs are formed when glucose is broken down to pyruvic acid.
Do plants need to break down glucose to obtain energy?
Yes, these plants do need to break down glucose to obtain usable energy. However, they do not need to do it all the time. At night, when sunlight is unavailable, they go through reactions that are termed as "Dark Reactions" to break down glucose and create energy.
Do both animals and plants respire?
Yes. They both use cellular respiration to break down Glucose. However, only plants use Photosynethsis.
What is maltase?
Responsible for the breaking down of maltose into glucose. This enzyme is found in plants, bacteria, and yeast.The glucose produced is either utilized by the body or stored in the liver as glycogen.
What are the starting molecules for glycolysis?
Glycolysis harvests chemical energy by oxidizing glucose to pyruvate improvement Glucose is starting molecule for glycolysis.
