Question

This molecule is a product of photosynthesis and is a major source of energy for plants and animals. This molecule is converted to ATP by the mitochondria.

Answer 1

This question is asking to identify the molecule being described.

The molecule is GLUCOSE

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants make their food using energy from sunlight. This food, which happens to be the product of the photosynthetic process is GLUCOSE molecule. Glucose is the source of energy during cellular respiration for plants and animals as it is broken down to synthesize ATP.

The process of cellular respiration, which is carried out by virtually all living organisms make use of the GLUCOSE MOLECULE. The energy stored in the glucose molecule is converted to ATP in the mitochondria.
