Question

Photosynthesis transforms only matter, but not energy.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants prepare their own food. Green plants harness the energy of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide, water, and minerals into glucose and oxygen. Water and carbon dioxide are transformed into sugars while light energy is converted into chemical energy. Thus, photosynthesis transforms both matter and energy.
