The process where plants convert radiant energy into chemical energy is ____
A
phototropism
B
photosynthesis
C
photography
D
geotropism
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis is the process in which plants collect radiant energy (from the Sun) and transform it into chemical energy. The chemical energy is stored in the plant as sugar and is available as food.

Detailed explanation-3: -In photosynthesis, chemical energy is converted to light energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Radiant-Radiant energy means light. Examples of things that have radiant energy are the Sun, lightbulbs and our computer screens. Plants convert light energy into chemical energy (food) which helps them to grown, this is known as photosynthesis. Sound-The louder we shout the more sound energy we are using.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plants are able to harness and use light energy in a process called photosynthesis. They absorb radiant energy from sunlight and transform it into useful chemical energy contained in molecules within their cells.
