Does photosynthesis make energy or store energy?
Subsequently, one may also ask, does photosynthesis use energy or does it release energy?
Function. Photosynthesis uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen gas. Each molecule of glucose essentially “stores” up to 38 molecules of ATP which can be broken down and used during other cellular reactions.
Also know, where is energy stored during photosynthesis?
Energy transfers and pyramids A small amount of the energy stored in plants, between 5 and 25 percent, passes into herbivores (plant eaters) as they feed, and a similarly small percentage of the energy in herbivores then passes into carnivores (animal eaters).
