A plant makes glucose during photosynthesis. Glucose consists of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. What is the source of the elements for the glucose that the plant makes? Construct an explanation.
Glucose is produced by plants through photosynthesis. In this process, the plant uses light energy from the Sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Algae and certain bacteria and other unicellular organisms also produce glucose through photosynthesis.
