What is the definition of photosynthesis?

Question

A. the process of changing light into stored chemical energy in the form of sugars
B. the process of converting the energy in oxygen molecules into ATP
C. the process of changing light into stored chemical energy in the form of lipids
D. the process of converting the energy into carbohydrate molecules into ATP

Answer 1

The correct definition of photosynthesis is:
A. the process of changing light into stored chemical energy in the form of sugars.

Photosynthesis is primarily the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose (sugars) using carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen as a byproduct.
