Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What process occurs when light energy is captured in autotrophs and converted into sugar?
A
Photosynthesis
B
Cellular Respiration
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Photosynthesis produces carbohydrates. Plants need sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and chlorophyll to complete photosynthesis. Plants use chlorophyll, water, and carbon dioxide to make sugar.

Detailed explanation-4: -As it turns out, some of the light energy absorbed by pigments in leaves is converted to a different form: chemical energy. Light energy is converted to chemical energy during the first stage of photosynthesis, which involves a series of chemical reactions known as the light-dependent reactions.
