Question

(b) (i) Which simple food is prepared first in the process of photosynthesis ?
(ii) Name the food which gets stored in plant leaves.

Answer 1

(i) Glucose is the simple food prepared first in the process of photosynthesis. Glucose then undergoes cellular respiration to yield the required energy for carrying out various life processes.

(ii) Starch is the food that gets stored in the plant leaves. The extra glucose formed during photosynthesis is converted into starch and is stored in the plant leaves for future use.
