Multiple Choice

In the context of organic chemistry, what do plants typically do with excess glucose produced during photosynthesis?

Release it into the atmosphere

Use it to produce oxygen

Store it as amino acids

Convert it into cellulose for structural support

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the process of photosynthesis: Plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight.

Recognize the role of glucose: Glucose is a simple sugar that serves as an energy source and building block for plants.

Identify the fate of excess glucose: Plants often convert excess glucose into other forms for storage or structural purposes.

Learn about cellulose: Cellulose is a polysaccharide composed of glucose units, providing structural support to plant cell walls.

Conclude the process: Excess glucose is converted into cellulose, which helps maintain the plant's structure and rigidity.
