Question

How does photosynthesis use solar energy?

Answer 1

Answer: The correct statement is solar energy is converted to chemical energy in the chemical bonds of the glucose molecule.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is defined as the process in which carbon dioxide reacts with water in the presence of sunlight to produce glucose as a product and oxygen as a by-product.

The chemical equation for this process is given by:

$6CO_2+6H_2O\xrightarrow[]{Sunlight} C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2$

The solar energy used by this process is converted in the form of chemical energy which is present in the bonds of the product which is glucose molecule.

During any process energy remains conserved by the law known as Law of conservation of energy.

Answer 2

Hello! The answer is

C. Solar energy is converted to chemical energy in the chemical bonds of the glucose molecule.

Hope that helps.
