Question

During photosynthesis, sunlight shining on a plant is absorbed. Through several chemical reactions, the plant produces sugar, a high-energy compound, from simpler substances.
What energy transformation occurs during this process?

A...thermal energy to chemical energy

B....electromagnetic energy to chemical energy

C....kinetic energy to potential energy

D...potential energy to chemical energy

Answer 1

The change is thermal energy to chemical energy.  Sugar contains a lot of chemical potential energy which is why living things use it as a source of energy.  The process of photo synthesis takes light from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.  That process is basically turning the thermal energy from the light into chemical energy in the sugar.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
