Answer:
Explanation:
Glucose is not made from starch it is stored as starch .
Photosynthesis Equation
Photosynthesis reaction involves two reactants, carbon dioxide and water. These two reactants yield two products, namely, oxygen and glucose. Hence, the photosynthesis reaction is considered to be an endothermic reaction. Following is the photosynthesis formula:
6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Unlike plants, certain bacteria that perform photosynthesis do not produce oxygen as the by-product of photosynthesis. Such bacteria are called anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria. The bacteria that do produce oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis are called oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria.
Photosynthetic Pigments

Chlorophyll a
Chlorophyll b
Xanthophylls
Carotenoids
