During the process of photosynthesis,
Select one:

a. less than 100% of the energy captured from sunlight is transformed into potential energy in the form of covalent bonds and then into potential energy in the form of a hydrogen ion gradient
b. 100% of the energy captured from sunlight is transformed into potential energy in the form of a hydrogen ion gradient and then into potential energy in the form of covalent bonds
c. 100% of the energy captured from sunlight is transformed into potential energy in the form of covalent bonds and then into potential energy in the form of a hydrogen ion gradient
d. less than 100% of the energy captured from sunlight is transformed into potential energy in the form of a hydrogen ion gradient and then into potential energy in the form of covalent bonds

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process utilized by plants and some organisms whereby the plants/organisms utilize the energy produced from the sun ( light energy ) and convert into chemical energy that is used to drive the activities of the plants or organism.

during the process of photosynthesis some of the energy converted into chemical energy by the plant is used to release electrons from from substances like water and this in turn leads to the production of oxygen into the atmosphere which is utilized by animals and humans.

The photosynthesis occurs in two stages : light dependent stage which occurs in the thylakoid membrane and the Calvin cycle which leads to the production of ATP and NADPH
