Question

The leaves of a plant prepare food A by photosynthesis. Food A then gets converted into food B
which is stored in the leaves. What are A and B ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A is glucose which is prepared by plant leaves after photosynthesis and B is starch which is stored in leaves.

Answer 2

Answer:

A is Glucose and B is Starch

Explanation:

Photosynthesis first splits water to make oxygen and free protons. The protons pass through a membrane and in the process power ATPase which turns ADP into ATP. The proton then joins with NADP+ to make NADPH.

Most of the ATP generated in that reaction is used to power the calvin cycle, in which the freed hydrogen from NADPH is combined with carbon dioxide in a rather complex circular reaction which ultimately yields glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a three-carbon sugar molecule.

Two of the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecules can then be combined to make a single molecule of glucose.

Glucose can then be transformed into fructose or other molecules, or combined together in chains to make starch or cellulose.
