Question

Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy?

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

B. The process of photosynthesis is energy-releasing because the process converts light energy into free energy that can be
used for cell functions.

C. The process of photosynthesis is energy-conserving because no energy is used throughout the process of forming glucose
and oxygen molecules.

D. 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 correct answer is photosynthesis converts light energy into glucose, whose bonds have to be broken down in order to access the energy.
