They discover that the chemical energy in the glucose produced added to the energy used to split water to make oxygen and to the heat lost in the process is equal to the energy of sunlight that was captured by chlorophyll. This is an illustration of what?

Answer:

Photosynthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process performed by producing organisms in which the capture of solar energy and its transformation into chemical energy is observed.

Photosynthesis means synthesis by light, the process by which plants, algae and some bacteria use light energy to produce organic matter. Photosynthesis is the main means of energy production of autotrophic beings. This process usually uses carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) to produce organic matter in the form of glycids, which will serve as food for the body, also releasing oxygen gas (O2) to the atmosphere in the process. Virtually all the oxygen that makes up Earth's present atmosphere is the result of photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is a long and complex process and it is in it that the chemical energy in glucose produced added to the energy used to divide water to produce oxygen and for the heat lost in the process is equal to the energy of sunlight that was captured by chlorophyll.
