Question

schoology quiz - photosynthesis and cellular respiration which of the following best describes the process of photosynthesis? plants use oxygen to make simple sugars. chlorophyll builds sugars in the thylakoid membrane. light breaks down water molecules and releases carbon dioxide. chloroplasts absorb sunlight and store chemical energy.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon - dioxide and water to produce sugars and oxygen. Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis occurs and they absorb sunlight to start the process. Chlorophyll is the pigment in chloroplasts that captures light energy. Water is split during the light - dependent reactions and carbon - dioxide is used in the Calvin cycle to build sugars. Plants do not use oxygen to make sugars in photosynthesis, rather they produce oxygen as a by - product.

Answer:

Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and store chemical energy.
