Glucose is produced in chloroplasts during photosynthesis, primarily in the stroma, where carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose using sunlight as energy. The process involves two main stages: the light-dependent reactions, which capture energy from sunlight and produce ATP and NADPH, and the Calvin cycle, which uses these energy carriers to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. While the glucose itself is not produced through the cell membrane, it is transported out of the chloroplast into the cytoplasm through specific transport proteins in the chloroplast membrane once synthesized.
What else can I help you with?
What molecule CANNOT be generated by a chloroplast that has been deprived of CO2?
A chloroplast deprived of CO2 cannot generate glucose, as glucose is produced during the Calvin cycle through the conversion of CO2 to glucose. Without CO2, the chloroplast cannot fix carbon and proceed with the Calvin cycle to produce glucose.
Where does CO2 enter the chloroplast?
It diffuses through the membrane.
Where do carbohydrate production occur in the chloroplast?
In the stroma
What part of the chloroplast do the storage of chemical energy in glucose molecules?
The storage of chemical energy in glucose molecules occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast. This is where the Calvin cycle takes place, converting carbon dioxide and light energy into glucose through a series of chemical reactions.
What specific molecule is being made in chloroplast?
The specific molecule being made in chloroplasts is glucose through the process of photosynthesis. This is accomplished by using light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

What is the chloroplast of a plant?
It is an organelle. It produces glucose through photosynthesis.
What will not diffuse through the cell membrane?
Glucose

The storage of chemical energy in glucose molecules occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast. This is where the Calvin cycle takes place, converting carbon dioxide and light energy into glucose through a series of chemical reactions.
What specific molecule is being made in chloroplast?
The specific molecule being made in chloroplasts is glucose through the process of photosynthesis. This is accomplished by using light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
Why does glucose pass through the membrane faster then mannose and galactose?
Glucose passes through the membrane faster than mannose and galactose because glucose is the primary energy source for many cells and is recognized and transported more efficiently by glucose transporters present on the cell membrane. Mannose and galactose have different transporter proteins with lower affinity and therefore pass through the membrane at a slower rate.
Which part of the chloroplast is associated with the production of glucose?
The production of glucose takes place during the light independent reactions (Calvin cycle) in the stroma of the chloroplast.
What does not freely diffuse through the plasma membrane?
glucose
How do glucose pass through the membrane pores?
by moving.
Where is glucose taken into cell?
through the plasma membrane
