Chemical energy: when bonds form in a chemical reaction, often producing heat as a by-product.
How does radiant energy transform into chemical energy?: Photosynthesis is the transformation of radiant energy to chemical energy. Plants take in water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight, turning them into glucose and oxygen.

Photosynthesis is the transformation of radiant energy to chemical energy. Plants take in water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight and turn them into glucose and oxygen. Called photosynthesis, one of the results of this process is that carbon dioxide is removed from air.
