They produce sugars to be:

1) broken down for energy/food (cellular respiration to produce ATP)

2) linked together in long chains to produce starch and cellulose

- starch can be used for coloring (white, like in flower petals)

- cellulose is used to build the plant cell walls for support (especially thick in woody cells)

What Photosynthesis produces and where does it produce it?

Photosynthesis is produced in the leaves of any plant. This is how the process of Photosynthesis works: The roots soak in water and minerals from the ground and the plant collects carbon dioxide from the air and with sunlight, the plant produces food also known as glucose or sugar.


Why doesn't a plant produce as much starch in the absence of water as it does in the presence of water?

In order to produce starch, a plant has to combine water and the sugar it produces. Without water, a plant cannot produce starch.


What does the plant use the glucose it produces for and why?

Plants use the glucose they produce through photosynthesis as a source of energy for growth and maintenance of cellular functions. Glucose is also used in the synthesis of other important molecules like cellulose, starch, and proteins.


What produces food for plants?

Plants produce their food, glucose, via photosynthesis, a process which uses sunlight water and carbon dioxide to create glucose water and oxygen. Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts, an organelle specific to producers.


What is the chloroplast of a plant?

It is an organelle. It produces glucose through photosynthesis.


What does the ovary produce in a plant?

In a plant, the ovary produces the fruit.


Can plant make glucose in darkness?

Plants cannot make glucose in darkness, because the process for a plant to produce glucose requires sunlight.


Why does the process of glucose produce photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is a process in which plants convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This process allows plants to capture and store energy from sunlight, which is then used for growth, metabolism, and reproduction. Glucose is a simple sugar that serves as a primary source of energy for the plant and is essential for its survival.


What does a plant produce during photosythesis?

Oxygen and glucose
