Question

What's the primary reason that ATP is transformed into glucose during the light independent phase of photosynthesis?

A) glucose has more phosphate groups than ATP
B) glucose is easier to produce than ATP
C) glucose has more electrons than ATP
D) glucose can store energy more efficiently than ATP

Answer 1

Answer:

I think d option is correct

bcz remaining options are not so accurate according to me sorry if I am wrong ❌

For each molecule of glucose, two molecules of ATP are hydrolyzed to provide energy to drive the early steps, but four molecules of ATP are produced in the later steps. At the end of glycolysis, there is consequently a net gain of two molecules of ATP for each glucose molecule broken down.

Answer 2

(D) glucose can store energy more efficiently than ATP is  the primary reason that ATP is transformed into glucose during the light independent phase of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Glucose has more phosphate groups than ATP:

• Adenosine triphosphate  These three phosphate groups are connected by two phosphoanhydride bonds, which are high-energy bonds.

Glucose is easier to produce than ATP:

• ATP molecules retain a lower quantity of energy, but each one releases just enough to perform work within a cell.
• Photosynthesis generates and utilises ATP, which is used to provide energy for the production of glucose! The usable type of energy for your cells is ATP.

Glucose has more electrons than ATP:

• If you've heard that compounds like glucose contain "high-energy" electrons, it's because the electrons in their CC and CH bonds have a comparatively high potential energy.  
• When electrons in CC and CH bonds are transferred to oxygen, a lot of energy is released.

Glucose can store energy more efficiently than ATP:

• Aerobic respiration saves a lot of energy compared to anaerobic respiration. Aerobic activities can generate up to 38 ATP per gramme of glucose consumed.
• Anaerobic reactions only produce 2 ATP per gramme of glucose.
