Question

Which is the end result of photosynthesis?

the production of chlorophyll


the trapping of energy from the sun


the production of glucose


the trapping of thylakoids

Answer 1

The production of glucose.

Answer 2

The right answer is glucose.

During photosynthesis, leaves capture sunlight. They also absorb water through their roots and carbon dioxide from the air. They use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into glucose while releasing oxygen. The glucose then leaves the leaf and is transported throughout the plant to feed it.
