Sugar is found in the central vacuole of plants an it is made by photosynthesis. Sugars chemical formula is C12H22O11. Photosynthesis happens in the chloroplats when energy is absorbed from the sunlight and converted into chemical energy.
This energy is stored temporarily as ATP and NADPH. Next, carbon dioxide and the chemical energy forms organic compunds. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2+6H2O light energy C6H12O6+6O2
