Answer:
During photosynthesis SOLAR enerrgy is transformed into CHEMICAL energy.
Explanation:
In nutrition, green plants manufactures their own food which they use for both energy and growth. This is called an autotrophic mode of nutrition.
Therefore, photosynthesis is an autotrophic nutrition in which plant can build sugar by taking carbon dioxide from air and water from the soil. For the synthesis of sugar like glucose, carbon dioxide provides carbon
and oxygen whereas water molecules provide hydrogen. The plant builds sugar molecules from these simple compounds. Enzymes needed for this purpose are present in the cells and energy is trapped by chlorophyll from sunlight. This process is summarised in the equation below:
Sunlight (solar)
6CO2 + 6H2O--------------------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
From the equation, Carbon dioxide, water and sunlight (SOLAR energy) is the raw materials needed to produce Glucose and oxygen (CHEMICAL energy) as by products.
