Glucose is initially formed through the act of photosynthesis, which is how plants use water and carbon dioxide to produce energy. From this combination of carbon dioxide and water,a carbohydrate is formed which is initially used in the leaf structure for a variety of purposes.
<em><u>Glucose provides plants with needed food through a process called photosynthesis. This process helps plants convert the energy they take in from sunlight into sugar to help nourish the plant. ... Plants use these to form glucose and oxygen.</u></em>
