Question

The product of photosynthesis is not a protein.
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Glucose and fructose are the by-products of photosynthesis which are used by plants as a source of energy. These molecules are combined to form starch.

Complete Answer:
- Photosynthesis is a process of converting light energy into chemical energy by phototrophs, which is afterward used to boost cellular activities.
- It explains that the process exclusively takes place in the chloroplasts by photosynthetic pigments such as chlorophyll a and b, xanthophyll and carotene.
- By using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water, all green plants and a few other autotrophic organisms utilise photosynthesis to synthesise nutrients. The by-product of the process of photosynthesis is oxygen.
- Sugars such as glucose and fructose are the end product of the method of photosynthesis. Two reactions take place in photosynthesis.
- The light reaction is one, and the dark reaction is another. ATP and NADPH are produced during the light reaction. Glucose is produced in the dark reaction.
- Sugars allow them to expand. In order to form more complex carbohydrates like cellulose and starch, the sugar molecules combine with each other. Cellulose is regarded as the structural component used in the walls of plant cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option B False.

Note: Two reactants, carbon dioxide and water, are involved in the photosynthesis reaction. Two products such as oxygen and glucose are produced. The photosynthesis reaction is therefore known to be an endothermic.
