Its either stored in the cell parts of the plant or it is used to repeat the process of photosynthesis
How do plants obtain ATP for photosynthesis?
During photosynthesis, green plants produce ATP, which is the energy storing compound used by every living cell. The energy is released by means of breaking the phosphate bonds which make up the ATP...
Is ATP formed in photosynthesis?
No, ATP or, adenosine triphosphate, is created during cell respiration much different than a plant's glucose making process. hope that helps!
