Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the energy conversion during photosynthesis?
A
chemical
B
thermal
C
chemical
D
radiant
Explanation: 

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: -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: -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.
