To determine the correct statement, let's analyze the substances in relation to photosynthesis:
1. **Substance A: Source of energy for plant-eating animals** - This refers to a substance that provides energy when consumed by herbivores. The primary substance that does this is glucose, which is produced during photosynthesis.
2. **Substance B: Combines with sunlight and carbon dioxide** - This refers to something that plays a role in the process of photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, chlorophyll is the pigment that captures sunlight, while carbon dioxide is one of the reactants.
Based on this, we can evaluate the given statements:
- **Substance A is water and Substance B is oxygen.** (Incorrect)
- **Substance A is glucose and Substance B is water.** (Correct)
- **Substance A is water and Substance B is chlorophyll.** (Incorrect)
- **Substance A is chlorophyll and Substance B is oxygen.** (Incorrect)
**Therefore, the correct statement is: Substance A is glucose and Substance B is water.**
