Question 8

The equation below shows the process of photosynthesis.
Carbon dioxide + Water → ? + Oxygen
What forms of energy are entering and exiting this process?
D
C
Chemical energy is entering, and light energy is exiting.
Wind energy is entering, and light energy is exiting.
Thermal energy is entering, and electrical energy is exiting.
Light energy is entering, and chemical energy is exiting.

1 answer

The correct answer is: Light energy is entering, and chemical energy is exiting.

In the process of photosynthesis, light energy (from the sun) is absorbed by plants and used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a form of chemical energy) and oxygen.
