Where is the carbon taken in by plants during photosynthesis stored?
a. the ground
b. plant structures
c. the air
d. all of the abovewhere is the carbon taken in by plants during photosynthesis stored?
d. all of the above

The answer to this problem is B

The correct answer is option b) plant structures.

The carbon which is taken in by the plants for photosynthesis is stored in the plant structures in the form of polysaccharides like starch, cellulose etc. When plant fixes carbon in the form of glucose with the help of photosynthesis, some amount of glucose is used by the plants for the production of energy for its day to day activities  while the excess amount of glucose is stored by the plant for future use in special organelles known as amyloplasts. The photosynthate in the amyloplasts is then stored in various structures like roots, stems, tubers etc of the plant. Apart from this, some amount of glucose is also used by plant for making cellular structures like cellulose which is present in the cell wall of a plant cell. Cellulose is a very rigid polysaccharide and therefore it serves the purpose of providing mechanical support and protection to the plant.

americans began to notice growing differences between the northern and southern sections of the country. there were more people living in cities in the north, which made it more urban. more people lived on farms in the south, which made it more rural. while many people were farmers in the northern states, there were now other ways to make a living, such as working in mechanical cotton gins factories manufacturing cloth, tools and other goods. people in the north supported high tariffs on goods imported from europe because the extra cost encouraged people to “buy american” instead. in the southern states, planters did not like tariffs because they sold most of their production to europe and bought their tools from there as well. southerners believed the protective tariff was something that only northern factory owners keep their profits high. so the southern politicians came up with an idea. they would opt out. they would simply ignore the protective tariff. it was ‘null and void’ in south carolina. the state would not collect the taxes on goods imported into south carolina, no matter what the president said they had to do. this decision led to the nullification crisis.
