select all the true statements about how plants use and change energy.
chlorophyll captures light energy.
photosynthesis creates energy from carbon dioxide and water.
photosynthesis transforms light energy into chemical energy.
plant cells use cellular respiration to get chemical energy from food.

Explanation:

• Chlorophyll is a pigment in plants that captures light energy, which is a key part of the process of photosynthesis. So the statement "Chlorophyll captures light energy" is true.
• Photosynthesis is the process where plants use carbon dioxide and water (along with light energy) to create glucose (a form of chemical energy), not just create energy from carbon dioxide and water. The correct description is that photosynthesis transforms light energy into chemical energy. So the statement "Photosynthesis creates energy from carbon dioxide and water" is false.
• As mentioned above, photosynthesis is the process of transforming light energy (captured by chlorophyll) into chemical energy (in the form of glucose). So the statement "Photosynthesis transforms light energy into chemical energy" is true.
• Plant cells use cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the process where cells break down glucose (from photosynthesis or other food sources) to release chemical energy (in the form of ATP) that the cell can use. So the statement "Plant cells use cellular respiration to get chemical energy from food" is true.

Answer:

Chlorophyll captures light energy, Photosynthesis transforms light energy into chemical energy, Plant cells use cellular respiration to get chemical energy from food.
