Question

all organisms need energy from food to live and grow. inside an organisms cells, food molecules like carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins can be broken down and rearranged through chemical reactions to release energy. animals get the food they need by consuming plants or other animals. but how do plants get the food they need to survive? most plants use energy from the sun to make food molecules in their cells through a series of chemical reactions collectively called photosynthesis. animals are consumers. they get food by consuming plants or other animals. plants are producers. they make food through photosynthesis. select the true statements. photosynthesis is a single chemical reaction. chemical energy can be used for cell growth. photosynthesis transforms light energy into chemical energy. animals need food molecules, but plants dont.

Explanation:

• Photosynthesis is a series of chemical reactions, not a single one, so the first statement is false.
• All organisms need energy from food molecules for various life - processes including cell growth, so chemical energy can be used for cell growth.
• Photosynthesis indeed transforms light energy from the Sun into chemical energy in the form of food molecules.
• Plants also need food molecules which they make through photosynthesis, so the statement that plants don't need food molecules is false.

Answer:

• Chemical energy can be used for cell growth.
• Photosynthesis transforms light energy into chemical energy.
