Question

What energy conversion occurs when a plant uses energy from the sun to make sugar stored in fruit? (2 points) Question 2 options: 1) Radiant energy is converted to thermal energy. 2) Radiant energy is converted to chemical energy. 3) Nuclear energy is converted to chemical energy. 4) Thermal energy is converted to mechanical energy.

Answer 1

it's number 2
it uses the sun's radioactive energy and chemically makes it into the sugar stored in fruit the process is called photosynthesis

Answer 2

Answer: 2). Radiant energy is converted into chemical energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Radiant energy is the energy that comes from the radiations coming from the sunlight. These radiations falls over the plant surface, where they are absobed by the chlorophyll pigments present on the leaves. The radiation energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of food (carbohydrates) by the process of photosynthesis.
