In which form do plants primarily store energy produced during photosynthesis?

C
Glucose
D
Cellulose
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, primarily in the form of glucose.
Recognize that glucose is a simple sugar and serves as an immediate source of energy for plant cells.
Identify that plants often convert glucose into starch for long-term energy storage. Starch is a polysaccharide, which is a complex carbohydrate formed by the linkage of multiple glucose units.
Differentiate between the roles of ATP and glucose: ATP is the energy currency used for immediate energy transfer within cells, while glucose is stored or used for energy production.
Conclude that while glucose is the direct product of photosynthesis, plants primarily store energy in the form of starch for later use.
