Photovoltaic cells can only make energy that does not need light, while photosynthesis can only make energy that needs light.
Photovoltaic cells can only make energy that does not need light, while photosynthesis can only make energy that needs light.

Photovoltaic cells can make energy that needs light and energy that does not need light, while photosynthesis can only make energy that does not need light.
Photovoltaic cells can make energy that needs light and energy that does not need light, while photosynthesis can only make energy that does not need light.

Photovoltaic cells and photosynthesis can make energy that needs light and energy that does not need light.
Photovoltaic cells and photosynthesis can make energy that needs light and energy that does not need light.

Photovoltaic cells need light to make energy, while photosynthesis can make energy that needs light and energy that does not need light.

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Photovoltaic cells need light to make energy, while photosynthesis can make energy that needs light and energy that does not need light.

This accurately describes that photovoltaic cells convert light energy into electrical energy, while photosynthesis uses sunlight to produce glucose (which stores energy) and other byproducts, and the energy from glucose can then be used by plants (or organisms that consume them) in a manner that does not directly require light.
