With the help of photosynthesis, plants convert solar energy into
AChemical energy ✓ Correct
BMechanical energy
CKinetic energy
DNuclear energy
Correct answer: (A) Chemical energy
Explanation
In photosynthesis plants capture sunlight and store it as chemical energy in the bonds of glucose.
Mechanical energy is the energy of motion or machines, not the product of photosynthesis.
Kinetic energy is the energy of moving bodies and is not synthesised by leaves.
Nuclear energy comes from atomic nuclei and has no role in plant photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll absorbs light and drives the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into sugars.
This stored chemical energy underlies almost all food chains on Earth.
