Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy?
A. The process of photosynthesis is energy-storing because the process converts light energy into chemical energy, which is
stored in the bonds of glucose.
B. The process of photosynthesis is energy-releasing because the process converts light energy into free energy that can be
used for cell functions.
C. The process of photosynthesis is energy-conserving because no energy is used throughout the process of forming glucose
and oxygen molecules.
D. The process of photosynthesis is energy-wasting because photosynthesis is an inefficient process that depletes the cell of
energy stored in the bonds of glucose.
