For the synthesis of 10 gm of glucose, plants use solar energy of about:
Correct answer: D. 717.6 kcal/ g ml
- A. 574 kcal/ g m
- B. 550 kcal/ g m
- C. 717.6 kcal / g m
- D. 717.6 kcal/ g ml
Explanation
The synthesis of 1gram of glucose via photosynthesis requires roughly 71.76kcal of solar energy. For 10g of glucose the total energy is the same value expressed in kcal (not per gram), hence 717.6kcal is the energy needed for 10g of glucose.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
