Question
what does photosynthesis transform light energy into? chemical energy mechanical energy potential energy
Photosynthesis is a biological process. In photosynthesis, plants use chlorophyll to capture light energy. This light energy is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen. Glucose stores chemical energy in its bonds. So, photosynthesis transforms light energy into chemical energy. Mechanical energy is related to motion (like a moving object), and while potential energy is a form of stored energy, in the context of photosynthesis, the specific form of stored energy produced is chemical energy in the glucose molecule.
