Plants produce glucose in leaves and convert some of it to sucrose. Explain how glucose is produced in leaves.

The leaves contain chloroplast which has chlorophyll, a green pigment which absorb energy from sunlight to carry out the process of photosynthesis. The leaf will then use carbon dioxide and water which they obtained from the environment in the presence of energy from sunlight ( captured from chloroplasts earlier), to produce glucose and oxygen. .The light energy is converted to chemical energy.
