RE:I'm not competely sure, but I think its sunlight. It is because: carbon dioxide + water (+light energy) ---> glucose + oxygen

Where does the energy photosynthesis come from?

The energy photosynthesis comes from the sun's light energy.


Where does the energy come from plants use to carry out photosynthesis?

Plants use sunlight as the primary source of energy to carry out photosynthesis. The sunlight is absorbed by pigments in the chloroplasts of plant cells, where the light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose.


Where does the energy for photosynthesis come from and what part of the plant pigments are involved in photosynthesis?

The energy for photosynthesis comes from respiration. The plant takes in oxygen and uses it for energy with in its cells. The chloroplast have a green substance called chlorophyll which absorbes the light needed for photosynthesis. the reaction happens there. Unfortunately the previous answer is not quite right. The ultimate source of energy for photosynthesis is sunlight. Plants convert the light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which they can then use as a source of energy in their cells. Energy is released from glucose by respiration.


Is the name of process that plants use to convert the sun's energy into chemical energy?

photosynthesis.


Where does the energy captured in glucose truly come from?

The energy captured in glucose ultimately comes from the sun. During photosynthesis, plants absorb sunlight and convert it into chemical energy stored in glucose molecules. Organisms then utilize this stored energy in glucose through cellular respiration to fuel their life processes.
