Question

Which of the following is a product of photosynthesis?

  1. Water
  2. Sunlight
  3. Carbon dioxide
  4. Starch

hintHint:

Starch

The correct answer is: Starch


    The first product of photosynthesis is sugar and it is converted into starch in all plants. In photosynthesis, glucose is produced in plants. Glucose is immediately soluble and cannot get stored but starch is insoluble. Thus, it is converted into starch so that it cannot escape from the cells. Also cells cannot use starch directly making it more stable compound for storage.
