During photosynthesis, sunlight shining on a plant is absorbed. Through several chemical reactions, the plant produces sugar, a high-energy compound, from simpler substances. What energy transformation occurs during this process?

Sunlight carries electromagnetic energy. During photosynthesis, the plant uses that light energy to make sugar, storing energy in the sugar’s chemical bonds. So the transformation is electromagnetic energy to chemical energy.
