Solution Summary
The types of organisms that can use photosynthesis to produce glucose.
Solution Preview
Photosynthesis occurs in green plants, seaweeds, algae, and certain bacteria. They produce new glucose molecules every second. Plants use this glucose, as energy to build leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds. They also convert glucose to cellulose, the structural material used in their cell walls. Most plants produce more glucose than they use and store it in the form of carbohydrates in roots, stems, and leaves.
Cellular respiration and fermentation are catabolic, energy-yielding pathways
Organic compounds store energy in their arrangement of atoms. With the help of enzymes, a cell systematically degrades complex organic molecules that are rich ...
