Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which best describes a process of photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert-
A
radiant energy into chemical energy.
B
heat energy into mechanical energy.
C
heat energy and chemical energy.
D
chemical energy into heat energy.
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 that plants use in the presence of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide taken in by their leaves and water taken in through the roots to produce oxygen and sugar (glucose). This process takes place in the chloroplast of the plant cell with the presence of the green pigment of chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: A-Photosynthesis is when a plant uses sunlight, Carbon Dioxide and water to make glucose and oxygen is you best option.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -What is photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. In a process driven by light energy, glucose molecules (or other sugars) are constructed from water and carbon dioxide, and oxygen is released as a byproduct.
