Detailed explanation-1: -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.
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. The leaves of plants contain everything needed to absorb the rays of the Sun and start photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Sun! The energy from light causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water and reorganizes them to make the sugar (glucose) and oxygen gas. After the sugar is produced, it is then broken down by the mitochondria into energy that can be used for growth and repair.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-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.
