Question

Which role does photosynthesis play in the flow of energy? (1 point)
A photosynthesis converts radiant energy to chemical energy to be used by organisms in the food chain
B photosynthesis is how plants break down glucose to use for energy
C photosynthesis allows plants to create energy for themselves to store and use metabolism
D photosynthesis provides radiant energy into all the organisms in the entire food chain

Answer 1

The correct answer is: **A photosynthesis converts radiant energy to chemical energy to be used by organisms in the food chain.**

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy (radiant energy) from the sun into chemical energy stored in glucose, which can then be used by various organisms in the food chain.
