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 else can I help you with?
Do plants use some of the sugar molecules they produce?
Yes, plants use some of the sugar molecules they produce through photosynthesis for energy to carry out their cellular functions. The sugars are used as fuel for growth, maintenance, and reproduction. Additionally, plants also store excess sugar molecules as starch for later use.
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 is the process in which sugar is formed in photosynthesis are broken into simpler molecules?
The process in which sugar is formed in photosynthesis is called carbon fixation. During this process, carbon dioxide molecules are taken in by plants and converted into simple sugar molecules through a series of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes. These sugar molecules serve as the primary energy source for the plant and are essential for its growth and development.
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.
Animals are not able to make sugar because they dont have what organelle?
Animals do not have chloroplasts, the organelle responsible for photosynthesis and sugar production in plants. Therefore, animals cannot produce sugar like plants do. Instead, animals obtain sugar by consuming plants or other organisms.
Plants cannot make sugar molecules for energy without...?
water sunlight carbon dioxide
Plants pipes that transport sugar molecules?
The phloem tissue in plants is responsible for transporting sugar molecules, such as sucrose, from the leaves where they are produced through a system of sieve tubes to other parts of the plant. These sugar molecules are essential for providing energy for growth and metabolism in the plant.
Do plants use some of the sugar molecules they produce?
Yes, plants use some of the sugar molecules they produce through photosynthesis for energy to carry out their cellular functions. The sugars are used as fuel for growth, maintenance, and reproduction. Additionally, plants also store excess sugar molecules as starch for later use.
What molecules make up carbohaydreates?
Sugar molecules make up carbohydrates
A type of sugar stored by plants?
Glucose is stored in starch molecules.
What do green plants store in the form of glucose in the leaves?
Sugar molecules.
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.
Plants make sugar by?
Plants make sugar by photosynthesis. Most plants make there own sugar from sunight, air and material absorbed from the ground by the roots. The sugar is used to help the plant grow and flourish. We extract the sugar from the plants for our own use. Examples are common cane sugar from the sugar cane plant, beet sugar from beets, wheat sugar (dextrose), and from corn we get corn sweeteners.
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
What Countries make Sugar?
I know that Fiji has sugar plants
What two things does it take for plant molecules to make sugar?
For plant molecules to make sugar, it takes carbon dioxide and water. During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water from the soil, using sunlight as energy to convert these raw materials into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. This process occurs primarily in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
