Detailed explanation-1: -Grass takes in light energy during photosynthesis. What happens to the majority of this energy? It is stored as chemical energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -The chlorophyll absorbs energy from the light waves, which is converted into chemical energy in the form of the molecules ATP and NADPH.
Detailed explanation-3: -Grass grows by using energy from the sun to produce sugar. This energy is then used to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose. This carbon dioxide is absorbed through the leaf of the grass and water is mainly absorbed by the roots of the grass. After glucose is created it is used throughout the grass for growth.
Detailed explanation-4: -Just like trees and other plants, grass converts energy from sunlight into sugar through the process of photosynthesis. This energy is used to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose. Carbon dioxide is absorbed through the stomata in the leaf and water is mainly derived from uptake in the roots.
