Plants are responsible for a very important energy transformation, as shown.

At left, a small grey circle is followed by an arrow pointing right to a large grey circle with a small white circle centered in it. The 4 arrows point to a vertical row of 4 images, 1 arrow per image. From top there are a medium sized grey circle with a small white circle centered in it, then a small grey circle, then another small grey circle, then another medium sized grey circle with a small white circle centered in it. Then comes + Energy. At the top of the vertical row of 4 images is the label Nucleus. At the bottom of the vertical row of 4 images is the label Nucleus.

Which energy transformation does the picture best illustrate?

radiant to chemical
nuclear to mechanical
chemical to thermal
mechanical to chemical

The picture best illustrates the energy transformation from radiant to chemical.
