PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Nearly all living organisms obtain energy either directly or indirectly from the ____ captured during photosynthesis.
A
sun
B
moon
C
soil
D
water
E
atmosphere
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The energy that is harnessed from photosynthesis enters the ecosystems of our planet continuously and is transferred from one organism to another. Therefore, directly or indirectly, the process of photosynthesis provides most of the energy required by living things on earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nearly all living things obtain energy either directly or indirectly from the energy of sunlight that is captured during photosynthesis. Through this process, plants use energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and sugar.

Detailed explanation-3: -Producers such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use the energy from sunlight to make organic matter from carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-4: -All organisms, including humans, need energy to fuel the metabolic reactions of growth, development, and reproduction. But organisms can’t use light energy directly for their metabolic needs. Instead, it must first be converted into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Autotrophs. Autotrophs are organisms that use energy directly from the sun or from chemical bonds. Commonly called producers, they use energy and simple inorganic compounds to produce organic molecules.
