During photosynthesis, plants synthesize which type of macromolecule as a primary product for energy storage and structure?
A
Nucleic acids (DNA/RNA)
B
Lipids (triglycerides)
C
Proteins
D
Carbohydrates (e.g., glucose)
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy stored in organic molecules.
Recall that the primary product of photosynthesis is glucose, which is a type of carbohydrate.
Recognize that carbohydrates serve as the main energy storage molecules and also contribute to structural components in plants (e.g., cellulose).
Differentiate carbohydrates from other macromolecules such as nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins, which have different roles in the cell.
Conclude that carbohydrates are synthesized during photosynthesis as the primary macromolecules for energy storage and structure.
