Question

when cells perform photosynthesis, they transform energy from one form to another. which of the following takes place during photosynthesis? (9 points) chemical potential energy is stored in the bonds of carbohydrate molecules. oxygen is given off as a by - product. chlorophyll absorbs light from the sun. low - energy carbon molecules, such as co₂, are formed.

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, chlorophyll in plant cells absorbs light energy from the Sun. This energy is used to convert carbon - dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen. Chemical potential energy is stored in the bonds of carbohydrate molecules. Oxygen is released as a by - product. Carbon dioxide is used up rather than formed during photosynthesis.

Answer:

All of the above except "Low - energy carbon molecules, such as CO₂, are formed." are correct. So the correct options are:

• Chemical potential energy is stored in the bonds of carbohydrate molecules.
• Oxygen is given off as a by - product.
• Chlorophyll absorbs light from the Sun.
