Question

What process do plants use to incorporate the sun's energy into an organic molecule?

Answer 1

Answer: c) photosynthesis

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, plants absorb light by using a pigment called chlorophyll. This pigment absorbs light in the mainly in the wavelengths of light red and blue, and it reflects the green light, so as results plants are seeing in green colors. There are other pigments that absorb different wavelengths, but chlorophyll is the main pigment that is involved in the photosynthesis process. Plants use this energy to convert the CO2 into organic molecules, that the plant can be used as a source of energy to grow and reproduce.

The other options are processes that also are happening in a plant, but aren’ t the correct answer. Transduction in plants is a process where plants receive signals from the environment and response to them. During transpiration or  phototranspiration, plants carry the water from the roots to the leaves and release the water to their environment. This is an important process in plants because using this water movement they can translocate elements.
