In plants, glucose is derived from which of the following?

B VENKAT · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: [Option D]
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Photosynthesis
	**Related Topics**: Carbohydrate metabolism, Plant physiology
	**Prerequisites**: Understanding of plant biology and metabolic processes
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
		- Plants produce glucose through photosynthesis.
		- The primary source of glucose is sucrose, which can be further broken down.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Identify the process by which plants synthesize glucose.
		Reasoning: During photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight into chemical energy.
		Formula/Rule: C_6H_{12}O_6 + O_2 ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + O_2 
	2. Determine the source from which glucose is derived in plants.
		Working: Sucrose is a disaccharide that is broken down into glucose and fructose.
		Key Point: Sucrose can be hydrolyzed to yield glucose and is thus a direct source.
	3. Conclude with the appropriate answer based on the given options.
		Result: The correct source of glucose is sucrose.
		Verification: Confirmed through knowledge of plant metabolism.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Protein is not a direct source of glucose in plants.
[B] :x: Fat cannot be converted directly to glucose in the process of photosynthesis.
[C] :x: Oxalic acid is not a source of glucose; it is a different organic compound.
[D] ✓: Sucrose is indeed broken down into glucose, making it the correct answer.
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Confusing glucose with other carbohydrates: Remember that glucose is a monosaccharide derived from disaccharides like sucrose.
		2. Misunderstanding the role of photosynthesis: Focus on the conversion of sunlight to glucose.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Think of sucrose as a primary energy storage form in plants that can be converted to glucose.
		2. Remember the equation of photosynthesis where glucose is a product formed from CO_2 and H_2O with light energy.
