During photosynthesis, solar energy is converted to chemical energy by the chloroplasts. The process is represented by

A) carbohydrate + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy.
B) carbohydrate + carbon dioxide → oxygen + water + energy.
C) solar energy + oxygen + water → carbohydrate + oxygen.
D) solar energy + carbon dioxide + water → carbohydrate + oxygen.
E) solar energy → carbohydrate + oxygen.

Photosynthesis

The process by which green plants, algae, and certain bacteria transform light energy into chemical energy, using carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and release oxygen.

Chloroplasts

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant and algal cells that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy stored in sugar molecules.

Solar Energy

Energy from the Sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy, a renewable and sustainable source of power.
