Which molecule is responsible for transferring light energy into chemical energy during photosynthesis?
Which molecule is responsible for transferring light energy into chemical energy during photosynthesis?
- Glucose
- Sucrose
- Starch
- Chlorophyll (correct)
What happens to glucose in a plant after it is synthesized during photosynthesis?
What happens to glucose in a plant after it is synthesized during photosynthesis?
- It is converted to starch for storage
- It is converted to sucrose for transport (correct)
- It is used to produce chlorophyll
- It is broken down into carbon dioxide and water
Why is glucose converted to sucrose before being transported in a plant?
Why is glucose converted to sucrose before being transported in a plant?
- Sucrose is a more efficient energy storage molecule
- Sucrose is less likely to be broken down by enzymes
- Glucose is too reactive to be transported on its own (correct)
- Sucrose is easier to synthesize than glucose
