How do the plants convert light energy into chemical energy?

hi ,

light energy is converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis.The process involves taking one form of energy -- sunlight -- and changing it to another form of energy -- sugar -- that the plant can use more readily.

 

  • Photosynthesis involves a complex series of chemical reactions that occur in the leaves, which are responsible for converting light energy to chemical energy in the form of glucose, a simple sugar. During the photosynthesis process, six water molecules and six carbon dioxide molecules are used to create one glucose molecule and six oxygen molecules. Oxygen is released into the atmosphere and glucose fuels the immediate functions of the plant or is stored until needed.

Plants convert light energy into chemical energy with the help of chlorophyll........ the chlorophyll traps the sunlight and converts it into chemical energy needed for photosynthesis...
