Question

during photosynthesis and cellular respiration, plant cells carry out processes that involve both light energy and chemical energy. decide whether each description applies to light energy or to chemical energy. description light energy chemical energy captured by chlorophyll used to rearrange the atoms in carbon dioxide and water during photosynthesis used after cellular respiration to directly power cell growth provided by food molecules

Explanation:

• Chlorophyll captures light energy during photosynthesis.
• Light energy is used to rearrange atoms in \(CO_2\) and \(H_2O\) in photosynthesis.
• After cellular respiration, chemical energy (from ATP) powers cell growth.
• Food molecules contain chemical energy.

Answer:

• captured by chlorophyll: Light energy
• used to rearrange the atoms in carbon dioxide and water during photosynthesis: Light energy
• used after cellular respiration to directly power cell growth: Chemical energy
• provided by food molecules: Chemical energy
