In the process of photosynthesis, how is solar energy transformed into the chemical energy stored in sugar molecules?
A
Solar energy is used to break down glucose into carbon dioxide and water.
B
Solar energy is stored in ATP molecules, which are then converted into glucose.
C
Solar energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.
D
Solar energy directly combines with oxygen to form glucose molecules.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
Recognize that chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants, plays a crucial role in absorbing solar energy.
Identify the reactants in the photosynthesis process: carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
Explain that the absorbed solar energy is used to drive a series of reactions that convert CO2 and H2O into glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).
Clarify that the overall chemical equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
