Respuesta :
the answer is it converts light energy to chemical energy" is the statement among the choices given in the question that summarizes the main purpose of photosynthesis
Answer:
The correct answer would be "Photosynthesis converts solar energy into chemical energy".
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their food from carbon dioxide and water with the help of sunlight and chlorophyll. The whole process can be divided into two reactions the light reaction and the dark reaction.
In light reaction, plants use solar energy to produce ATP and NADPH. Oxygen is released as the byproduct.
In dark reaction, these ATP and NADPH are used to fix carbon into carbohydrate or food.
The overall reaction can be summarized as
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + solar energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ (chemical energy) + 6 O₂
Thus, photosynthesis converts solar energy into chemical energy.
