The correct statement is:

**Photosynthesis uses light energy to produce chemical energy.**

Photosynthesis converts light energy, typically from the sun, into chemical energy stored in glucose. The other statements provided are incorrect. For example, cellular respiration does not use light energy; it breaks down glucose (chemical energy) to produce ATP, which is a usable form of energy for the cell.
