Question

1. why does the plant make glucose?

to provide food for the plant
to improve germination
to give off into the air.
so it will taste good

Explanation:

Plants make glucose through photosynthesis, and glucose is used as a source of energy (food) for the plant's growth, respiration, and other metabolic processes. The option "To provide food for the plant" aligns with this biological function. "To improve germination" is not related to glucose production's main purpose, "To give off into the air" is incorrect as glucose is used by the plant, and "So it will taste good" is irrelevant to the plant's biological needs.

Answer:

To provide food for the plant
