Question

1. what type of energy do plants use to convert co2 and h2o into sugar? atp adp sunlight glucose

Explanation:

Plants use the process of photosynthesis to convert \(CO_2\) and \(H_2O\) into sugar. In photosynthesis, chlorophyll in plant cells captures sunlight energy. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is an energy - carrying molecule produced during cellular processes (including parts of photosynthesis), but it is not the initial energy source for converting \(CO_2\) and \(H_2O\) into sugar. ADP (adenosine diphosphate) is involved in the ATP - ADP cycle for energy transfer but is not the energy source for this conversion. Glucose is the sugar (a product of the conversion of \(CO_2\) and \(H_2O\) in photosynthesis), not the energy source. Sunlight is the energy that drives the light - dependent reactions of photosynthesis, which then provide the necessary energy (in the form of ATP and NADPH) for the light - independent reactions (Calvin cycle) where \(CO_2\) and \(H_2O\) are converted into sugar.

Answer:

sunlight
