Question

3.1.9 - 12.e what best describes the role of light in the overall process of photosynthesis?
light provides the energy for assembling small molecules into sugars.
light accepts the energy that is released by small molecules.
light accepts the energy that is released by sugars.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy. Light is absorbed by chlorophyll, driving the synthesis of sugars from small molecules (CO₂ and H₂O). Light is an energy source, not an energy acceptor.

Answer:

Light provides the energy for assembling small molecules into sugars.
