Detailed Solution

Concept: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert solar energy or light energy into chemical energy. This chemical energy is stored as carbohydrates or sugar, which plants use as food and fuel. This process of food production in plants involves a series of reactions that require solar energy, carbon dioxide, and water. Solar energy is directly absorbed from solar radiations that fall on chlorophyll, a green pigment found in leaf cells that traps light energy from the sun.
Diffusion allows carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to enter the stomata of the leaves.Byproducts of this reaction include (6CO2(g) +6H2O+Photons
C6H12O6(aq) +6O2(g) 6CO2(g) +6H2O+Photons
C6H12O6(aq) +6O2(g) 6CO2(g) +6H2O
1.Reactions to light2. Light reactions are essentially energy transduction reactions that convert solar energy into energy transporting molecules. These energy-carrying molecules are then used to power the dark reactions, which are essentially carbon-fixation reactions.
As a result, solar energy is trapped in plants in the form of chemical energy, which powers the plant's various vital processes.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
