∙ 13y agoLight energy from the sun is captured by the chlorophyll (a green light trapping pigment) which is located within chloroplasts (the site of photosynthesis). This light energy is then converted to chemical energy in the form of glucose.

When plants perform photosynthesis they use sunlight to produce food. This is an example of light energy being converted to?
It is converted to chemical energy. They are in bonds of glucose
What external conditions must be present for a plant to convert sunlight to chemical potential energy?
Photosynthesis is the process to allow a plant to convert sunlight to chemical potential energy. Without this ability the plants would wither and die.
Where does it occurs?
Photosynethesis is the process in which plants make their own food using sunlight. This light energy is converted into glucose by the chloropyl in the green leaves. The plants then use the gulcose for energy.
How does plants enable to trap energy from the sun?
Sunlight is needed by plants to create photosynthesis. This is how the plants collect and store energy in order to thrive and grow, The sunlight is converted to energy that the plant needs.
Light energy from the sun is converted by plants into?
Light energy from the sun is converted by plants into chemical energy.
How sunlight is converted into potential energy by plants explain?
Photosynthesis
What is sunlight converted to by plants?
Sunlight/energy is made into food for the plant
Plants convert the energy of sunlight into the energy of motion carbon dioxide and water the potential energy of chemical bonds minerals kinetic energy?
That is light energy. Process is called photosynthesis
How is light energy converted into heat energy?
Light energy is converted into heat energy when plants take in sunlight (light energy) and convert it into heat energy when they respire and produce energy.
What is the primary energy conversion that occurs when plants produce sugar?
light energy is converted to chemical energy i.e. sunlight is converted to starch during photosynthesis.
What is the energy conversion of Photosynthesis?
In plants light energy from the sunlight is converted to chemical energy which is used up in the photosynthesis reaction. carbondioxide + water in the presence of sunlight reacts to form glucose and oxygen. 6CO2 + 6H20 --------sunlight-------- C6H12O6 + 6O2 (light energy converted to chemical energy)
When plants perform photosynthesis they use sunlight to produce food. This is an example of light energy being converted to?
It is converted to chemical energy. They are in bonds of glucose
Which plants contain more starch the ones that get no sunlight or the ones that do?
Photosynthesis is the prosess plants use to convert sunlight energy into sugar energy or starch, therefore, the more sunlight a plant gets, the more energy is converted and the more starch it stores
How does grass under go photosynthesis?
rays of sunlight hit the green pigments in the chloroplasts in the cells of the plants and the sunlight is converted to energy which is used to produce sugars that the plants will use as food.
What are the energy transformations in hydro power plants?
The potential energy in the head of water is converted into kinetic energy in the turbine which converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy. Potential Energy of water -> Kinetic Energy -> Electrical Energy
How sun light converted into potential energy by plants?
during photosynthisis SOLAR energy is the type of energy which plants turn into chemical energy
What form of energy is sunlight converted to?
Solar energy can be converted into electricity using photo-voltaic cells which are piezo-electric components and create a current when they are in light. Solar energy is also converted to usable heat using water based solar panels connected to a buildings radiators or hot water supply. Solar energy can also be converted into potential energy by certain wavelengths energising electrons in an atom to move to a different energy level. This is normally released back as light but will be a certain colour dependant on the wavelength absorbed. Solar energy can also be used to assist chemical reactions in plants using photosynthesis
