Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the process of photosynthesis:

Photosynthesis is a process in plants (and some other organisms) where light energy (from the sun) is converted into chemical energy (stored in glucose, a type of sugar). Also, matter in the form of carbon dioxide and water is converted into glucose (a form of matter) and oxygen. So, during photosynthesis, light energy is converted into chemical energy, and matter (CO₂, H₂O) is converted into other forms of matter (glucose, O₂).

For the sentence: "During photosynthesis, certain forms of matter are converted into other forms of \(\boldsymbol{\text{matter}}\) (since CO₂ and H₂O become glucose and O₂), and \(\boldsymbol{\text{light}}\) energy is converted into \(\boldsymbol{\text{chemical}}\) energy (stored in sugar)." (Assuming the dropdowns are for these blanks—though the image is partial, the key is the energy and matter transformations in photosynthesis.)

Answer:

• First blank (after "other forms of"): matter (because CO₂ + H₂O → glucose + O₂, all matter)
• Second blank (energy source): light (sunlight provides the energy)
• Third blank (energy type): chemical (stored in sugar)

(Note: The exact dropdown options depend on the provided choices, but the core is light energy → chemical energy, and matter → matter in photosynthesis.)
