Plants have specialized organelles in their cells called chloroplasts that perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process that takes light energy from the sun and binds that energy into glucose.
Plants turn light energy into sugar.
Sugar
Chemical energy
during photosynthisis SOLAR energy is the type of energy which plants turn into chemical energy
Chemical energy (the food they store, in form of sugar).
It's not chemical energy travelling from the sun, it's electromagnetic energy in the form of visible light. Chemical energy is found in things such as glucose, batteries etc.
Beacuse the light energy is converted into chemical energy (in the form of sucrose and glucose) through photosynthesis; the chemical energy is then utilised by the plant through the process of respiration.
It cannot be certain as there is still alot left to learn about plants and their actions. The most supported idea is CHEMICAL KINETIC energy. This is because the chemical produced in photosynthesis is then transported to the other parts of the plants, therefore, CHEMICAL KINETIC energy.
Photosynthesis is the process used by plants to convert light energy, usually in the form of solar energy from the sun, into chemical energy that is stored in carbohydrate molecules.
Along with water, it is chemically converted into a form of carbohydrates that plants can use for energy. This is calledPHOTOSYNTHESIS.
The plants take in energy by absorbing sunlight.
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)
Solar energy is trapped in the form of chemical energy in plants.
