What is the definition of photosynthesis?(1 point)
Responses
The process of converting the energy in carbon molecules into ATP
The process of converting the energy in carbon molecules into ATP
The process of converting the energy in oxygen molecules into ATP
The process of converting the energy in oxygen molecules into ATP
The process of changing light into stored chemical energy in the form of sugars
The process of changing light into stored chemical energy in the form of sugars
The process of changing light into stored chemical energy in the form of lipids
The process of changing light into stored chemical energy in the form of sugars
The definition of photosynthesis is: "The process of changing light into stored chemical energy in the form of sugars."
The correct definition of photosynthesis is: "The process of changing light into stored chemical energy in the form of sugars." This is option C.
To arrive at the correct answer, you could use a few different methods. One way would be to recall or have prior knowledge of the definition of photosynthesis. Another way could be to analyze the different options and eliminate those that don't match the process of photosynthesis.
In this case, option A and B mention converting the energy in carbon or oxygen molecules into ATP, which is not the primary result of photosynthesis. ATP is produced during cellular respiration, which is a separate process from photosynthesis. Option D mentions the production of lipids, which is not the primary product of photosynthesis either. Option C correctly states that photosynthesis involves converting light into stored chemical energy in the form of sugars.
