Question

3.4.2 test (cst): computer-scored unit test
what kind of energy transformation is taking place in the plant in the
photograph?

a. chemical energy → solar energy
b. potential energy → nuclear energy
c. potential energy → kinetic energy
d. solar energy → chemical energy

Explanation:

Plants perform photosynthesis, where they capture solar (light) energy and convert it into chemical energy (stored in glucose). Option A is reversed. Option B involves nuclear processes not in plants. Option C is about energy in motion/position, not photosynthesis. Only D matches photosynthesis energy transformation.

Answer:

D. Solar energy → Chemical energy
