Question

how would you describe the process of photosynthesis?
conversion of light energy to chemical energy
conversion of water to oxygen
breakdown of glucose to release energy

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Photosynthesis is a biological process. In this process, plants (and some other organisms) use chlorophyll to capture light energy. This light energy is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a form of chemical energy) and oxygen. The key aspect is the conversion of light energy (from the sun) into chemical energy (stored in glucose). The conversion of water to oxygen is just one part of the overall photosynthesis reaction. The breakdown of glucose to release energy is actually the process of cellular respiration, which is the opposite of photosynthesis.

Answer:

conversion of light energy to chemical energy
