Answer:

C. light energy is converted into the chemical energy of glucose.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plants make their own food, and they need energy from the sun to make glucose, which is used as food. The formula for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 or Carbon dioxide + water + energy from light produces glucose and oxygen.
