Question

during photosynthesis, radiant energy from the sun is transferred to plants and other photosynthetic organisms. the chloroplasts in the cells of these organisms then transform the radiant energy into chemical potential energy stored in the bonds of

a. carbon dioxide.

b. water molecules which then evaporate through openings called stomata.

c. protein molecules.

d. highly condensed carbon compounds, such as carbohydrates.

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, chloroplasts convert radiant energy into chemical - potential energy stored in carbohydrates, which are highly condensed carbon compounds. Carbon dioxide is used as a reactant, water is involved in the process but not where the energy is stored, and proteins are not the main energy - storing molecules in this context.

Answer:

D. highly condensed carbon compounds, such as carbohydrates
