1. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants produce glucose (sugars) during the light-independent reactions in the chloroplast.
2. Glucose serves as the primary source of carbon for plants and can be converted into other organic molecules, including amino acids.
3. Nitrogen is obtained by plants from the soil, which is then used to synthesize amino acids.
4. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
5. Therefore, plants obtain protein by synthesizing amino acids using carbon from glucose and nitrogen from the soil.
he figure shows the process of photosynthesis in plants and some of the process's products.
Information
A figure.Short description, A figure.,Long description,
The figure shows Chloroplast and the molecule G3P are at the center of the process.
Arrows point from a Sun labeled Light, the molecule Upper C Upper O subscript 2, and the molecule Upper H subscript 2 Upper O to Chloroplast.
An arrow points from Chloroplast to the molecule Upper O subscript 2.
An arrow points from Chloroplast to the molecule G3P, which shows 3 connected spheres each labeled with Upper C.
Arrows point from the G3P molecule to Sugars, Fatty acids, and Amino acids.
Nitrogen points to Amino acids.
