Life is solar powered. almost all of the producers of the biosphere depend on energy from the sun to produce the organic molecules that supply the energy and carbon skeletons needed for life. in a short essay (100-150 words), describe how the process of photosynthesis in the chloroplasts of plants transforms the energy of sunlight into the chemical energy of sugar molecules.

The energy of the sun is harnessed by the photon center in the chlorophyll pigment. This energy is used in the photolysis of water (splitting of a water molecule) and the energy transferred to ATP and NADP. This occurs in the grana and is a light-dependent reaction.

2H2O  -->  4H+ + O2 + 4e- (photolysis)

i might be wrong but i think its a. let me know if i’m right and have a good rest of your day!
