changes them into other molecules used for growth and stores some for future use

Answer 1

The correct response is:

changes them into other molecules used for growth and stores some for future use.

Plants utilize small sugars (like glucose) not only for energy but also to build other essential molecules (such as starch for storage, cellulose for structure, and various organic compounds for growth and metabolic functions). Additionally, they may store some sugars for energy reserve for later use.
