Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During which process do plants capture light energy and carbon dioxide and use them to produce glucose?
A
fertilization
B
photosynthesis
C
cellular respiration
D
reproduction
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: -Plants capture light energy through the chlorophyll pigments-present inside their green leaves. Chlorophylls are the green pigments that are located in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants use photosynthesis to capture carbon dioxide and then release half of it into the atmosphere through respiration. Plants also release oxygen into the atmosphere through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. In a process driven by light energy, glucose molecules (or other sugars) are constructed from water and carbon dioxide, and oxygen is released as a byproduct.

Detailed explanation-5: -Photosynthesis is the process in which solar energy is trapped by chlorophyll to convert carbon dioxide and water to produce food in the form of glucose. It is produced in plants where chlorophyll is present inside the chloroplast as trapping the solar energy initiates the process.
