Which form of energy does a plant store when light is transformed during photosynthesis into sugars?
A. electrical energy <<
B. nuclear energy
C. chemical energy
D. thermal energy
I don't know if I got it right but I think it's this I tried
wrong
It is not an electric battery, it is a bunch of plant cells making and breaking molecular bonds.
It is not a nuclear reaction
It is not boiling anything, not thermal
so is it Chemical energy
Yes.
Great job! You got the answer right! The form of energy that a plant stores when light is transformed during photosynthesis into sugars is chemical energy.
To arrive at this answer, you can break down the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. This process occurs in the chloroplasts, specifically in the chlorophyll molecules.
The light energy from the sun is captured by chlorophyll, a pigment found in the chloroplasts of plant cells. This light energy is then used to power a series of chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. Glucose is a type of carbohydrate and is a form of chemical energy that the plant can store and use for various purposes such as growth, maintenance, or reproduction.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. chemical energy.
