Question

Examine the plant cell diagram, which shows glucose being made from carbon dioxide and water.



How does the cell obtain energy for the process?

a
The cell obtains the needed energy from sunlight.
b
The cell obtains the needed energy from food.
c
The cell makes the needed energy in mitochondria.
d
The cell makes the needed energy from soil nutrients.

The correct answer is:

**a. The cell obtains the needed energy from sunlight.**

In plant cells, photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts, where light energy from sunlight is converted into chemical energy, allowing the plant to synthesize glucose from carbon dioxide and water.
