What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Question

A. To make sugars and store energy
B. To crate oxygen for animals to breathe
C. To break down sugars and give energy
D. To release carbon monoxide

Answer 1

The primary purpose of photosynthesis is A. To make sugars and store energy. During photosynthesis, plants convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which can be stored and used as energy by the plant and other organisms that consume it. While oxygen is a byproduct of this process, the main goal is energy production.
