Which of the following is an immediate product of photosynthesis ?
- Glucose
- Starch
- Sucrose
- Cellulose
Answer
Glucose
Reason — During photosynthesis, the plants first form simple soluble carbohydrates (glucose), and later, form complex insoluble carbohydrates (starch).
Starch is a storage form of carbohydrate. It is made from glucose when there is excess food. Sucrose is a transport sugar in plants. It is synthesized from glucose (and fructose) and transported to different parts of the plant. Cellulose is a structural carbohydrate used to build cell walls. It is also formed from glucose, not produced directly.
