The correct answer is: "the process of changing light into stored chemical energy in the form of sugars."
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some other organisms convert light energy into chemical energy, specifically into stored energy in the form of sugars. It occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, where chlorophyll (a pigment that absorbs light) captures the energy from sunlight. This energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a sugar) and oxygen. It is a vital process for sustaining life on Earth as it produces oxygen and serves as the foundation for most food chains.
