Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy?
  • 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 leaves, a green pigment called chlorophyll captures the sunlight.
  • Step 5: Using the sunlight, plants combine carbon dioxide and water to create glucose (a type of sugar).
  • Step 6: The process also produces oxygen, which is released into the air.
