The correct answer is : Light energy is captured by plants; light energy is converted to chemical energy.
In the process of photosynthesis, special pigment molecule called chlorophyll can capture the energy of the light, more specifically the photon. When a particle of light (a photon) with a specific energy reaches this pigment in the leaves of plants, the energy is transferred from the particle to the molecule, and the molecule becomes excited. This is the phase where the energy of the light is captured and transformed into chemical energy that can later be used to make sugars.
All of the later chemical processes that transfer the energy from the excited chlorophyll to the sugar molecules are not dependent on the light and can happen during the night as well.
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:An acquired trait is defined as a characteristic or trait that produces a phenotype that is a result of environmental influence. Acquired traits are not coded in the DNA of an individual and therefore most scientists believe they cannot be passed down to offspring during reproduction

Answer:
the student is incorrect.
Explanation:
a chemical reaction is defined as: changes in one or more substances caused by a reaction, that <u>form new and different substances.</u> Smoke coming out of a car would not really be classified as turning into a new substance, the smoke is still smoke.
