Question: 1 / 400

What type of energy transfer occurs during photosynthesis?

Radiation

Kinetic

Chemical

Photosynthesis is the process in which plants convert light energy into chemical energy. This process occurs in the chloroplasts of the plant cells and involves a chemical reaction that combines water and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen. Kinetic energy refers to the energy of motion, so it is not the correct answer as it does not involve a chemical reaction. Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position or condition, so it does not accurately describe the energy transfer in photosynthesis. Radiation is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves, and although light energy is used in photosynthesis, it is not the type of energy transfer that is occurring. Therefore, the correct answer is C Chemical.
