The following equation illustrates the chemical reaction that occurs in a plant.

water + carbon dioxide + light energy → sugar + oxygen

Based on the law of conservation of energy, what happened to the light energy in the reaction?

A. It was produced by the plant.

B. It was changed into oxygen gas.

C. It was destroyed during the chemical reaction.

D. It was converted into chemical energy stored in the sugar.

Respuesta :

Answer:

option d

it was converted into chemical energy stored in the sugar

Answer:

D. It was converted into chemical energy stored in the sugar.

Explanation:

A. It was produced by the plant. This is false because light energy is a reactant and not a product formed by the plant.

B. It was changed into oxygen gas. This is false because light energy could not be transformed to oxygen gas by any chemical means. Instead, carbon dioxide leads to oxygen being produced by the plant.

C. It was destroyed during the chemical reaction. This is false, it cannot be destroyed during the chemical reaction. Instead, it was used up and converted into chemical energy stored in the sugar.

D. It was converted into chemical energy stored in the sugar. This is true.

hope this helps!! p.s. i really need brainliest :)
