The type of sugar that plants primarily produce is glucose. During photosynthesis, plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight. While plants can also convert glucose into sucrose (which is a transport form of sugar) and store it, glucose is the primary product of photosynthesis. Fructose is also a simple sugar but is not primarily produced by plants during photosynthesis. Lactose is a sugar found in milk and is not produced by plants.
