Which process converts light energy into chemical energy in plants?
Correct Answer: Photosynthesis
- Step 1: Plants take in sunlight through their leaves.
- Step 2: Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air through tiny openings in their leaves called stomata.
- Step 3: Plants take up water from the soil through their roots.
- Step 4: Inside the plant cells, chlorophyll (a green pigment) captures the sunlight.
- Step 5: The energy from sunlight helps to combine carbon dioxide and water to create glucose (a type of sugar).
- Step 6: This process of making glucose using sunlight is called photosynthesis.
- Step 7: The glucose produced is stored as chemical energy that the plant can use for growth and energy.
