Detailed explanation-1: -The primary source of energy for nearly all life is the Sun. Which BEST describes how green plants utilize this energy? Green plants convert radiant energy and compounds into food.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chlorophyll’s job in a plant is to absorb light-usually sunlight. The energy absorbed from light is transferred to two kinds of energy-storing molecules. Through photosynthesis, the plant uses the stored energy to convert carbon dioxide (absorbed from the air) and water into glucose, a type of sugar.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most life on Earth depends on photosynthesis. The process is carried out by plants, algae, and some types of bacteria, which capture energy from sunlight to produce oxygen (O2) and chemical energy stored in glucose (a sugar).
Detailed explanation-4: -The Two Parts of Photosynthesis In the light-dependent reactions, which take place at the thylakoid membrane, chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight and then converts it into chemical energy with the use of water. The light-dependent reactions release oxygen from the hydrolysis of water as a byproduct.
Detailed explanation-5: -This process is called photosynthesis and occurs in the chloroplast of the plant cell. Plants take in carbon dioxide through tiny openings or pores in their leaves called stomata.
