Question

Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy?

The process of photosynthesis is energy storing because the process converts light energy into de seness is
stored in the bonds of glucose
The process of photosynthesis is energy-releasing because the process converts light energy into free energy that can be
used for cell functions
The process of photosynthesis is energy conserving because no energy is used throughout the process of forming
glucose and oxygen molecules
The process of photosynthesis is energy wasting because photosynthesis is an inefficient process that depletes the cell of
energy stored in the bonds of glucose

Answer 1

The process of photosynthesis is energy storing because the process converts light energy into the chemical energy which is stored in the bonds of glucose.

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen by means of chemical reaction in presence of sunlight. This reaction is the only source of food to each and every forms of heterotrophs which consume either a producer or another consumer to live.

This process utilizes the Sun's energy to deprotonate the water molecules and then store these protons in a place from which ATPs are produced by releasing the protons. Thus the energy produced is stored in form of ATPs, which are utilized to produce the glucose from carbon dioxide and water. Thus its an energy storing process which stores the Sun's heat and light energy into chemical energy of glucose.
