Question 5 of 30 Sam is investigating the factors that affect photosynthesis. She keeps some plants in the dark for 24- 48 hours. They receive no light. What carbohydrate does this remove from the plants? square

Answer 1

The absence of light removes Glucose, the carbohydrate from the plants.

Answer 2

## Step1:The question relates to the process of photosynthesis in plants. Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants use energy derived from sunlight, along with water and carbon dioxide from the environment, to synthesize food. The primary food synthesized via photosynthesis is glucose, a carbohydrate. ## Step2:The condition in which this question has subjected the plants to - absolute darkness - removes the source of energy, i.e., light, necessary for photosynthesis.## Step3:Without light energy, the photosynthesis process can't take place. Hence the product of this light-dependent biochemical reaction - glucose is no longer produced.
