Question

What activity occurs during the process of photosynthesis?
1) chemical energy from the organic molecules is converted into light energy
2)light energy is stored as chemical energy in organic molecules
3)organic molecules are absorbed from the environment
4)organic molecules are converted into inorganic food molecules

Answer 1

Answer:

On my opinion The answer 2) is correct

Answer 2

The Correct answer is an option (2).

i.e., Light energy is stored as chemical energy in organic molecules.

The following statements justify it:

• Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert and store light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel other organisms depending on it.
• Photosynthesis is the only way through which the carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air is absorbed by the green plants through the stomatal pores which open up only when sunlight falls on them.
• And then this CO2, with the light energy converted into chemical energy and water, is used by the plants to make glucose.
• The byproduct of this process is O2, which is released by the plants during the daytime through the stomatal pores to help life thrive on our earth.
• The complete photosynthesis reaction can be depicted as given below:

                                                (Sunlight)

Carbon Dioxide + Water    --------------------->  Glucose + Oxygen

Thus, option (2) is correct.
