Question

which of the following correctly identifies the main function of photosynthesis? converts oxygen and water to chemical energy converts solar energy to chemical energy converts chemical energy to stored carbohydrates converts chemical energy to atp

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert solar energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose (a carbohydrate). The overall reaction uses sunlight, carbon - dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen. It does not directly convert oxygen and water to chemical energy, nor does it directly convert chemical energy to ATP (though ATP is produced during the process). The main energy - conversion is from solar to chemical energy stored in carbohydrates.

Answer:

Converts solar energy to chemical energy
