Question

1. Plants and other organisms such as green algae can produce their own energy in a process called _______.

2. The process of changing radiant energy into chemical energy is called ______.

I think that both answers are "photosynthesis". However, two same answers in a row doesn't seem right.

Is my answer correct?

thank you.

Answer 1

Yes, your answer is correct. Both questions indeed have the same answer - photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some other organisms, such as green algae, convert radiant energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose. The energy is captured by chlorophyll, a pigment found in the chloroplasts of plant cells. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water from the soil are also used to produce glucose and release oxygen. So, even though it seems unusual to have the same answer for both questions, in this case, photosynthesis is indeed the accurate answer.
