Question
what drives the chemical processes in the chloroplasts during photosynthesis?
sunlight energy
oxygen
carbon dioxide
chemical energy
During photosynthesis in chloroplasts, sunlight energy is captured by chlorophyll and other pigments. This energy is used to drive the chemical reactions that convert carbon - dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Oxygen and carbon - dioxide are reactants and products, not the driving force. Chemical energy is the result of the photosynthetic process, not what drives it initially.
