Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The role of the Sun during photosynthesis is to serve as a source of-
A
hydrogen atoms
B
radiant energy
C
gravitational pull
D
carbon dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch.

Detailed explanation-2: -The radiant energy of the Sun provides the energy for the process of photosynthesis. During the reactions of photosynthesis, solar energy transfers to chemical energy and stores in the bonds of carbohydrates, such as glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biomass from plants. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the Sun to make sugar molecules and oxygen. These sugar molecules are the basis for more complex molecules made by the photosynthetic cell, such as glucose.

Detailed explanation-5: -Radiant energy from the sun is converted into potential (stored) energy during the process of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in chloroplasts in plant cells. It absorbs the radiant energy from the sun.
