Question

which of the following statements best explains the main goal of photosynthesis? photosynthesis transforms light energy into chemical energy to build carbohydrates for long - term storage. photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to provide a food source for other organisms. photosynthesis uses light energy to build carbohydrates for long - term storage. photosynthesis breaks down carbohydrates to create atp for the plant.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates (sugars) for long - term energy storage. It also releases oxygen as a by - product. The main goal is to transform light energy into chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates for the plant's long - term use.

Answer:

Photosynthesis transforms light energy into chemical energy to build carbohydrates for long - term storage.
