Radiant energy is a term that is almost exclusively used for electromagnetic energy. When something is hot, it emits radiant energy. The sun is an obvious example, but all object actually emit radiant energy. The hotter the object, the more energy.

Sound does carry energy, but it is not electromagnetic. Objects can emit sound and even "radiate" sound, but the term radiant energy is not normally used for sound.

What is an example of radiant to chemical?

An example of radiant energy converting to chemical energy is photosynthesis in plants. During this process, plants absorb sunlight (radiant energy) and use it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The glucose produced serves as chemical energy that the plant can utilize for growth and metabolism.


Do both cellular respiration and photosynthesis depend directly on radiant energy?

Photosynthesis directly depends on radiant energy, specifically sunlight, to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process captures solar energy and transforms it into chemical energy stored in glucose. In contrast, cellular respiration does not directly depend on radiant energy; instead, it utilizes the chemical energy stored in glucose to produce ATP, the energy currency of cells. Thus, while photosynthesis relies on radiant energy, cellular respiration relies on the energy released from glucose during its breakdown.
