The Process of Photosynthesis

Question 13 • First Semester Biology

Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy?

Answer
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.

Explanation

Photosynthesis captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy stored in glucose. The energy is held in the bonds of glucose, so photosynthesis is an energy-storing process. It does require energy from light, rather than releasing usable energy or occurring without energy input.
