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 light energy (from sunlight) is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a form of chemical energy) and oxygen. The first option is incorrect as photosynthesis does not convert visible light to gamma rays. The second option is wrong because it is not a simple carbon - to - oxygen conversion. The fourth option is also incorrect as it does not convert energy to mass. The key process in photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy (from the sun) to chemical energy (stored in glucose).

Answer:

It converts light energy to chemical energy.
