WAEC SSCE - Agricultural Science - 2008 (Objective)

Question 1 Report

During photosynthesis, green plants convert carbon dioxide to

chlorophyll

carbohydrate

protein

carbonic acid

Answer Details

During photosynthesis, green plants use the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into a type of sugar called glucose. This process takes place in special organelles in plant cells called chloroplasts, which contain a pigment called chlorophyll that gives plants their green color. The glucose produced during photosynthesis can be used by the plant for energy, stored for later use, or used to make other important molecules like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Therefore, the answer to the question is a carbohydrate, specifically glucose.
