Question

What does the energy from sunlight actually do to the plant cell? *

It heats up the plant cell
It excites electrons
It is unknown
It transforms to kinetic energy

Answer 1

It excites electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy from sunlight excites electrons in plant cells and drives the chemical reaction needed to produce food in plants.

• This reaction is called photosynthesis.
• During photosynthesis, green plants manufacture their food using sunlight in the presence of carbon dioxide and water.
• The product of the reaction is glucose and oxygen gas.
• The role of the sunlight is to excite electrons which facilitates the process.
