Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plant chloroplasts convert energy from sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide and water are also involved in the process, but they are not the form of energy or matter that is being converted from sunlight. Oxygen is a product of photosynthesis, but it is not converted directly from sunlight. The energy of motion and kinetic energy also do not play a direct role in photosynthesis.
