The correct definition of photosynthesis is:
"The process of changing light into stored chemical energy in the form of sugars."
To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate the other options by understanding the process of photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is a biological process that occurs in plants, algae, and some bacteria. It involves the conversion of light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose (sugar). This process takes place in specialized structures called chloroplasts, where chlorophyll, a pigment, captures sunlight.
Option 1 correctly describes this process by stating that photosynthesis involves changing light into stored chemical energy in the form of sugars. The other options are incorrect:
- Option 2 describes the conversion into lipids, which is not a primary outcome of photosynthesis.
- Option 3 refers to the conversion of oxygen molecules into ATP, which is the process of cellular respiration, not photosynthesis.
- Option 4 describes the conversion of carbohydrate molecules into ATP, which is also a process of cellular respiration, not photosynthesis.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.
