Review the schematic diagram of photosynthesis and the involvement of the chloroplast in this process. We know that the purpose of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into usable chemical energy. That process takes several steps. One of the first steps in this energy conversion process is what?
A) Energy from sunlight is converted into a usable form of chemical energy, glucose.
B) Stored chemical energy in the forms of ATP and NADPH are transferred to the grand in order to produce glucose.
C) Energy from sunlight is absorbed by the thylakoid membranes, used to decompose water and transform carbon dioxide.
D) Energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted into stored chemical energy, in the form of NADPH and ATP.
