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 analyzing their descriptions.
Option 1 states that photosynthesis is the process of converting the energy in oxygen molecules into ATP. However, this is incorrect as photosynthesis actually produces oxygen, not consumes it.
Option 3 states that photosynthesis is the process of converting the energy in carbohydrate molecules into ATP. This is also incorrect because photosynthesis involves the production of carbohydrates, not their conversion.
Option 4 suggests that photosynthesis is the process of changing light into stored chemical energy in the form of lipids. Though some lipids may be produced during photosynthesis, the primary product is sugars, not lipids.
Thus, the correct answer is option 2: the process of changing light into stored chemical energy in the form of sugars.
