Answer:

Energy in = light energy

Process = photosynthesis

Energy out = chemical energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Plants are unique organisms being that they have the ability to produce food on their own using a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis, which occurs in the leaves of a plant, is the process whereby glucose is synthesized in the presence of sunlight as energy source. The equation is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6O2

According to this equation, LIGHT ENERGY from the sun is an input i.e. comes in the reaction, to synthesize GLUCOSE, which is an organic molecule that contains CHEMICAL ENERGY. This means that chemical energy is given out as a product of photosynthesis.
