The Process of Photosynthesis — Quiz

Question 7 • Biology

Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy?

Answer
A
The process of photosynthesis is energy-conserving because no energy is used throughout the process of forming glucose and oxygen molecules.
B
The process of photosynthesis is energy-storing because the process converts light energy into chemical energy, which is stored in the bonds of glucose.
C
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.
D
The process of photosynthesis is energy-releasing because the process converts light energy into free energy that can be used for cell functions.

Explanation

Photosynthesis captures light energy and uses it to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water. The captured energy becomes chemical energy stored in the bonds of glucose, so photosynthesis is energy-storing. Choice B describes this relationship; photosynthesis does not release the glucose’s stored energy as its main result.
