Question

Light energy from the sun is converted by plants into _____.

mechanical energy

chemical energy

electricity

leaves

Answer 1

Chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.

Answer 2

chemical energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Green plants have chlorophyll pigment that serves to trap the sunlight. The light energy from sun is used to drive the ATP synthesis during light dependent reactions of photosynthesis. The ATP serves as energy source for dark phase of photosynthesis during which carbon dioxide is fixed into glucose. Hence, plants use the process of photosynthesis to convert the light energy of sun into chemical energy of glucose.
