What is light converted into during photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Light doesn't become energy, energy becomes light. When electrons in atoms absorb energy from electricity in our light bulbs or nuclear fusion in the sun, or even during some chemical reactions, like fire, they jump to higher energy levels. Thing is though, they don't stay there. WHen they jump back to their original energy level, they will release a photon of electromagnetic radiation. (sometimes light) Now, that light can be converted into different forms of energy. Mostly heat like when the Earth absorbes light from the Sun and stores it in the oceans as heat. Also it can be converted into electricity when photons of light bump electrons in photovoltaic material out of their orbitals and make them flow through a wire. That is what electricity is, a flow of electrons in a wire. If your question is really how does light become electricity, Google photovoltaic cells and that will explain it more clearly. By the way, the effect you read about is what Albert Einstein won a Nobel Prize for and it has helped defined the dual nature of light ever since. There is one other way light becomes energy. Plabts store the energy from the Sun in molecules of starches and sugars made of water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) using sunlight to reaarange the atoms in a chemical reaction. These starches and sugars can then be eaten by other organisms, mainly animals, to give them the energy they need to live. GOOGLE Photosynthesis and Respiration to see how this all works. REMEMBER THIS!!!!! Law of conservation of energy tells us that energy cannot be created or destroyed. All the energy in the universe has always been here and will always be here as long as the universe exists. Thing about energy is that it can be converted into different forms, like light into heat, but it can't be created or destroyed; only converted.

Answer 2

what is the light energy converted in to in photosynthesis

Answer 3

Light energy from the Sun converts into thermal energy

Answer 4

Photo-voltaic cells convert daylight in the visible spectrum to electricity

Answer 5

ATP, the basic unit of energy in organisms.

Answer 6

Light energy is converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis. Photosynthesis converts light energy, from the sun, into chemical energy, to fuel the activities of the organism.
