Question

order the steps to show how energy is transformed in plant cells. first cellular respiration rearranges the atoms of sugars to release chemical energy. chemical energy is used to power processes such as cell growth. chlorophyll captures light energy. photosynthesis uses light energy to make sugars and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.

Explanation:

First, chlorophyll captures light energy. Then, photosynthesis uses that light energy to make sugars and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. After that, cellular respiration rearranges the atoms of sugars to release chemical energy. Finally, the chemical energy is used to power processes such as cell growth. This follows the logical flow of energy transformation in plant cells: light energy capture → conversion to chemical energy in sugars (photosynthesis) → release of chemical energy from sugars (cellular respiration) → use of that released energy for cell functions.

Answer:

1. Chlorophyll captures light energy.
2. Photosynthesis uses light energy to make sugars and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.
3. Cellular respiration rearranges the atoms of sugars to release chemical energy.
4. Chemical energy is used to power processes such as cell growth.
