What kind of energy is necessary to initiate the process of photosynthesis?
A
Radiant
B
Heat
C
Electrical
D
Wind
E
Sound
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process of utilizing and converting light or solar energy into chemical energy. Sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll of leaves. Here, light energy is converted into chemical energy and is stored as ATP molecules. This energy is used by plants for the life processes.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

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: -Chlorophyll ‘a’ is the principal photosynthetic pigment found in all green plants. It absorbs the blue and red wavelengths of visible light and aids in the process of converting it into chemical energy.
