Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy?
the process of photosynthesis is energy-storing because the process converts light energy into chemical energy, which is
stored in the bonds of glucose.
the process of photosynthesis is energy-releasing because the process converts light energy into free energy that can be
used for cell functions.
the process of photosynthesis is energy conserving because no energy is used throughout the process of forming glucose
and oxygen molecules.
the process of photosynthesis is energy-wasting because photosynthesis is an inefficient process that depletes the cell of
energy stored in the bonds of glucose.
