Detailed explanation-1: -In photosynthesis, solar energy is harvested and converted to chemical energy in the form of glucose using water and carbon dioxide.

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 use light energy to begin the process of photosynthesis and to fuel energy storage in sugars. Thus, we can say, radiant energy is stored as chemical energy in food.

Detailed explanation-4: -The radiant energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).

Detailed explanation-5: -The electromagnetic energy of sunlight is converted to chemical energy in the chlorophyll-containing cells of photosynthetic organisms.
