Question

Plants use carbohydrates to build things such as cellulose. How do plants acquire these building blocks to build mass?

a. They absorb carbohydrates through the soil.
b. They absorb dissolved carbohydrates via water.
c. They make carbohydrates through the process of photosynthesis.
d. They make carbohydrates through the process of cellular respiration.

Answer 1

I believe the correct response would be C. Plants acquire carbohydrates by producing them through the process of photosynthesis. This allows plants to then use the formed carbohydrates to build structural polymers, such as cellulose.
