Photosynthesis converts light energy into
AChemical energy stored in glucose
BHeat energy that warms the leaf
CSound energy that travels in air
DElectrical energy used directly in cells
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Chemical energy stored in glucose
1. Photosynthesis uses sunlight as the energy source.
2. Chlorophyll captures the photons.
3. The energy is stored in chemical bonds of glucose.
