Does chemical energy travel from the Sun to the Earth and get transformed into light energy by plants?

No. It is actually thermal energy from the sun that is transformed into food/chemical energy.

How does chemical energy affect our lives?
As it is portable it makes our travel by vehicles simple.
How far do beta particles travel?
About 2,000 miles. The speed of individual beta particles depends on how much energy they have, and varies over a wide range. It is their excess energy, in the form of speed, that causes harm to living cells. When transferred, this energy can break chemical bonds and form ions.
Is it possible for a chemical to be absorbed through your skin and travel through your bloodstream to cause damage somewhere else in your body?
Yes
Why are hormones called chemical messengers?
I believe they are called chemical messengers because of their function and the fact it is a chemical. They travel through the blood and target cells respond to hormones often because of their structure. I have read in a science book (McDougal Littell 's Human Biology) that they are called chemical messengers because they are made at one location and function at another.
How does the role of chlorophyll compare with those of CO2 and H2O?
Chlorophyll is the compound that captures energy from the sun. CO2 is split into one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms (oxygen leaves the plants via the stomata and play no further role in photosynthesis). The carbon atom is used in the Calvin Cycle (light-independent reactions) to form glucose, a simple sugar that is crucial as an energy source. H2O is split during the light-dependent reaction to form 2H+ ions and one oxygen molecule (the oxygen leaves the plants via the stomata and play no further role in photosynthesis). The H+ ions diffuse from the thylakoid into the stroma through an enzyme called ATP synthase. When the ions travel through this enzyme, ATP synthase adds a phosphate group to ADP, thus forming ATP (which is an energy source during the Calvin Cycle).
Does chemical energy travel from from the sun to earth and is transformed into light enerty by plants?
true
How does energy transfer from the sun to plant to you?
Energy comes from the Sun to Earth - and some of it to plants - via sunlight, which can travel through empty space. Plants store part of the energy they get, and we then get the energy from the plants we eat. We - those who are not strict vegans, that is - also get some of the energy in a more indirect way, by eating animal products (meat, eggs, milk); in this case, the animal gets energy from the plants, and stores part of it, and we get the energy from the animal products.
What are two kinds of energy that travels in waves?
Kinetic and electromagnetic energy can travel in waves.

What is the kind of energy that can travel through different mediums but cannot travel through a vacuum?
You are probably thinking of thermal convection and conduction.
When a farmer sprays chemical spray on to crop plants how does the chemical travel to the roots of the plants?
The sprayed chemical is absorbed by the leaves, it reaches in the conducting tissues (mostly phloem) and travels to the root along with other supplies of that plant.
What energy transformation occurs in an oven?
The electricity (electromagnetic energy) that drives the microwave oven is routed to the magnetron, which generates the microwave energy. (The electricity and microwave energy are both forms of electromagnetic energy.) The microwaves travel through a waveguide into the cavity (the cooking space) in the oven, and used to excite chemical bonds in the food items. This is a conversion of microwave energy (electromagnetic energy) into the mechanical energy of heat.

How did Odin travel?
He rode Sleipnir, walked in disguise, or transformed into a creature.
