C. Electromagnetic energy is transformed into chemical energy
Explanation:
Growth is one of the characteristics of living things. It refers to the increase of an organism. A leaf is part of a plant, which is a photosynthetic organism i.e. an organism capable of producing its own food using energy from sunlight. Light energy is a part of the ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY.
This light energy is used to synthesize glucose (food) via photosynthesis. The glucose, which stores chemical energy in its bond is then broken down to yield ATP used for growth. Hence, the transformation of electromagnetic energy to light energy is how a leaf grow.
Farming emerged because being a nomad was no longer suitable for increasing population size. Farming allowed people to stay in one place and properly feed their families, which was a definite positive impact on population size.
