Question

Plants and animals need energy in order to live. Which of the following statements about the conversion of food energy into other forms of energy is true?

Answer 1

Plants convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plants and animals need energy in order to live. In the process of photosynthesis, plants take in energy in the form of light (solar energy) and convert it into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This energy is stored in the chemical bonds. Then, through a series of metabolic pathways called cellular respiration, the energy from the glucose is extracted and converted into a form that all living things can use.
