Answer: Glucose is manufactured by plants with the aid of energy from the sun in the process called photosynthesis. This synthesis is carried out in the small energy factories called chloroplasts in plant leaves.

In a process driven by light energy, glucose molecules (or other sugars) are constructed from water and carbon dioxide, and oxygen is released as a byproduct. The glucose molecules provide organisms with two crucial resources: energy and fixed—organic—carbon.
