Answer
By performing photosynthesis, plants create everything they need to build all biomolecules. Is this true? Why or why not?
Answer
By performing photosynthesis, plants create everything they need to build all biomolecules. Is this true? Why or why not?
a. This is true because photosynthesis produces glucose, and plants only need sugar.
b. This is true because photosynthesis produces glucose, which has carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen-the building blocks for all biomolecules.
c. This is not true because plants need to perform cellular respiration to break down the glucose into carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
d. This is not true because plants need to sequester nitrogen from the soil to build amino acids.

Fatty acids are components of various biomolecules, including lipids, such as triglycerides (fats and oils), phospholipids (major component of cell membranes), and glycolipids.

This statement is not entirely true. While photosynthesis is a crucial process for plants to produce glucose (a simple sugar) using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, it does not directly supply all the biomolecules needed by plants. Glucose generated during photosynthesis acts as a building block for other biomolecules, such as starch (energy storage), cellulose (structural component), amino acids (proteins), and nucleotides (DNA and RNA).
However, plants require additional nutrients to synthesize certain biomolecules that are not produced through photosynthesis. For example, plants need to obtain minerals like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium from the soil to synthesize proteins, nucleic acids, and certain organic compounds. Plants also require specific vitamins and cofactors that cannot be synthesized internally. Hence, while photosynthesis provides the foundation for plant metabolism, it alone does not create all the biomolecules necessary for plant growth and function.

The correct answer is b. This is true because photosynthesis produces glucose, which contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, the fundamental building blocks for all biomolecules. While plants do require additional nutrients like nitrogen to build certain biomolecules, the statement is true as long as we consider glucose as a vital precursor for the synthesis of other biomolecules.
