Question: Photosynthesis is held in the leaf of a plant. In which synthesis organic material is called ..........
Photosynthesis is held in the leaf of a plant. In which synthesis organic material is called ............. These food materials are transported by .......... tissue to all parts of the plant.
Solution
Photosynthesis is a process through which plants and other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy, which is then released to power the organism's activities through cellular respiration. Photosynthesis is the process of storing chemical energy in carbohydrate molecules, which are made from carbon dioxide and water.
Complete answer:
Let us solve this question by understanding the meaning of the statement.
Glucose is the synthesized organic material in the process of photosynthesis. It is a hexose sugar that is used as a plant feed. Starch is used to store and transport it.
The tissue phloem transports food material in plants in a bidirectional manner. Photosynthesis occurs in the leaves, and food is delivered from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
Thus, glucose and phloem are filled in the blanks respectively.
Correct answer:
Photosynthesis is held in the leaf of a plant. In which synthesis organic material called Glucose. This food material is transported by Phloem tissue to all parts of the plant.
Note:
Food is generated in specialised organelles in the leaves of plants. Chloroplasts are the name for this type of cell. Grana is the site of food production within the chloroplast. In the presence of sunshine, chlorophyll-containing cells of leaves employ carbon dioxide and water to produce a basic sugar called glucose. Parts of glucose that aren't instantly turned to energy are now transformed to starches, which are complicated sugar molecules. Plants store starches for future energy in order to produce new tissues. The presence of starch in leaves denotes the presence of food that has been preserved.
