Question
- during photosynthesis, radiant (or light) energy is converted into what kind of energy?
Photosynthesis is a process in biology (a subfield of Natural Science) where plants, algae, and some bacteria convert radiant (light) energy into chemical energy. Specifically, during photosynthesis, light energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a chemical compound) and oxygen. The glucose stores the energy in its chemical bonds, so the radiant energy is converted into chemical energy.
