Detailed explanation-1: -In photosynthesis, solar energy is harvested and converted to chemical energy in the form of glucose using water and carbon dioxide. Oxygen is released as a byproduct.

Detailed explanation-2: -During the process of photosynthesis, light penetrates the cell and passes into the chloroplast. The light energy is intercepted by chlorophyll molecules on the granal stacks. Some of the light energy is converted to chemical energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Hint: In plants, the radiant energy from the sun will be converted into chemical energy to that of glucose (sugar). This transformation is called photosynthesis. Plants use water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight and transform these into oxygen and glucose.
