Question

Question 6 Examine the plant cell diagram, which shows glucose being made from carbon dioxide and water. Nucleus 6C*O_{2} + 6H_{2}*O Glucose Chloroplast How does the cell obtain energy for the process? The cell makes the needed energy from soil nutrients. The cell obtains the needed energy from sunlight The cell obtains the needed energy from food d The cell makes the needed energy in mitochondria.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: **The cell obtains the needed energy from sunlight.**

In plant cells, the process of making glucose from carbon dioxide and water occurs during photosynthesis, which takes place in the chloroplasts. Light energy from the sun is captured by chlorophyll and is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Thus, sunlight is the primary source of energy for this process.
