Question

carbon from glucose is essential for the formation of amino acids. which process is responsible for the production of glucose in plants? (1 point)

citric acid cycle

photosynthesis

dehydration synthesis

glycolysis

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use light - energy, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen. The citric acid cycle is involved in cellular respiration for energy production, not glucose production in plants. Dehydration synthesis is a general reaction for building polymers and not the main process for plant glucose production. Glycolysis breaks down glucose rather than producing it in plants.

Answer:

B. photosynthesis
