Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Photosynthesis converts radiant energy to chemical bond energy.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process of utilizing and converting light or solar energy into chemical energy. Sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll of leaves. Here, light energy is converted into chemical energy and is stored as ATP molecules. This energy is used by plants for the life processes.

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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct option is A True Plants convert solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The light-dependent reaction takes place within the thylakoid membrane and requires a steady stream of sunlight, hence the name light-dependent reaction. The chlorophyll absorbs energy from the light waves, which is converted into chemical energy in the form of the molecules ATP and NADPH.
