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?

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?

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
