Introduction to Photosynthesis: What is the primary food molecule that most plants produce during photosynthesis?
A
Glucose (a sugar)
B
Chlorophyll
C
Carbon dioxide
D
Oxygen gas
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy stored in food molecules.
Recognize that chlorophyll is the pigment that captures light energy, but it is not the food molecule itself.
Know that carbon dioxide and water are the raw materials used in photosynthesis, not the final food product.
Recall the general photosynthesis equation: \$6\ \text{CO}_2 + 6\ \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{light energy} \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6\ \text{O}_2$.
Identify that \(C_6H_{12}O_6\) represents glucose, which is the primary food molecule produced by plants during photosynthesis.
