Plants are best known for their ability to perform photosynthesis, the process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. But plants don't just make sugars; they use them, too. Like animals, plants must break sugars down to fuel cellular work. What products are generated in chloroplasts? Which two of the following molecules are products of chloroplasts? a. sugar b. amino acid c. oxygen gas d. carbon dioxide
Added by Norma S.
Step 1
During photosynthesis, chloroplasts use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen gas. So, the products of chloroplasts are sugar (a) and oxygen gas (c). Show more…

Photosynthesis is used to produce food for plants. Plants are called autotrophs because they produce their own food. Animals are heterotrophs, meaning they eat their food. What do plants produce in photosynthesis that is used by animals and other heterotrophs? A) oxygen only B) glucose only C) glucose and oxygen D) glucose and carbon dioxide
