The definition of photosynthesis always includes the term organic molecules instead of sugar because organic molecules formed are absolutely carbon-based molecules. Term "Sugar" is actually the processed form of sugar cane. One more possibility for the terminology may include if it is using CO2 in their reactants and its product can form many types of carbohydrates such as glyceraldehyde, which is not a sugar but a organic molecule.
why doea the definition of photosynthesis say organic molecules and not just sugar?
Which step of photosynthesis uses CO2? Name the process of incorporating CO2 into organic (sugar) molecules.
1A. Determine if the following are "Photosynthesis” or “Respiration” a Endergonic reaction to make sugar Photosynthesis Respiration b Produces ATP using light energy Photosynthesis Respiration c Produces ATP by removing it from sugar Photosynthesis Respiration d Occurs in cells containing chlorophyll only Photosynthesis Respiration e Utilizes (uses) oxygen to make water molecules Photosynthesis Respiration f Produces oxygen from water molecules Photosynthesis Respiration g Does not require light to occur Photosynthesis Respiration h Uses carbon dioxide and water (reactant) Photosynthesis Respiration...

Photosynthesis and plant nutrition Complete the following paragraph to describe the role of photosynthesis in plant nutrition. Answer choices may be used more than once or not at all. mitochondria Plants are considered to be autotrophs because of their ability to produce their own food. light-independent reactions sunlight, carbon dioxide, and...
Plants perform photosynthesis because Othey directly fuel all their cells with the high energy molecules (ATP, NADPH) that are energized during the light reactions. they have to create high energy molecules and then they send these molecules to all the parts of the plant that don't photosynthesize (like the roots) o they capture the light energy as ATP and NADPH and then use that energy to form sugar which in turn can be stored or transported to places that need...
In chemistry, what is meant by "organic"? Why do functional groups in molecules matter?
In this reaction, H2O combines with CO2 to produce glucose molecules. a. photosynthesis b. glycogenesis c. gluconeogenesis d. glycolysis e. none of the above Which one is the correct answer and why?
The process of photosynthesis produces oxygen as a by-product, but does not require it to make sugar. Therefore, is it accurate to say that plants do not need molecular oxygen (O2)? Explain your answer.
