Question

which statement summarizes a change that occurs during photosynthesis?
○ it converts visible light to high-energy gamma rays.
○ it converts carbon to oxygen.
○ it converts light energy to chemical energy.
○ it converts energy to mass.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process in plants where they use light energy (from the sun) and convert it into chemical energy (in the form of glucose). Visible light is not converted to gamma rays. Carbon is not converted to oxygen in the sense of changing the element. Also, energy is not converted to mass in photosynthesis. The key concept is the energy conversion from light (radiant) to chemical (stored in bonds of glucose).

Answer:

It converts light energy to chemical energy.
