Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What process occurs when light energy is captured in autotrophs (producers) and converted into sugar?
A
Photosynthesis
B
Cellular Respiration
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
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: -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-3: -In the second step of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide from the air enters the leaves through very small openings. Using the previously stored chemical energy, the chloroplasts convert carbon dioxide into glucose [1]. Fructose is also produced during this step. Glucose is then combined with fructose to create sucrose.

Detailed explanation-4: -photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.
