Question

Light energy is harnessed and stored as chemical energy in the form of
through the process of
in plants. The chemical energy is converted into usable energy by
, which is considered an inefficient process because not all the stored energy is converted into ATP (some of it is released into the ecosystem as
).

Answer 1

Light energy is harnessed and stored as chemical energy in the form of glucose through the process of photosynthesis in plants. The chemical energy is converted into usable energy by cellular respiration, which is considered an inefficient process because not all the stored energy is converted into ATP (some of it is released into the ecosystem as heat).
