Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy?
The process of photosynthesis is energy-storing because the process converts light energy into chemical energy,
which is stored in the bonds of glucose.
The process of photosynthesis is energy-releasing because the process converts light energy into free energy that
can be used for cell functions.
The process of photosynthesis is energy-conserving because no energy is used throughout the process of forming
glucose and oxygen molecules.
The process of photosynthesis is energy-wasting because photosynthesis is an inefficient process that depletes
the cell of energy stored in the bonds of glucose.

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which only one parent is involved. There are basically 5 types of asexual reproduction. These are binary fission, budding, vegetative reproduction, fragmentation and by spores. During fission, the cellular contents are replicated internally and then are divided into two daughter cells. This is seen in bacteria. Plants reproduce asexually by vegetative propagation. In this, part of plant such as bulb, tuber, rhizome develops into a new plant. Budding is seen in yeast. In this, new organism develops from a bud at a particular site. In fragmentation, an organism physically splits and develops into new organisms from each segment. It is seen in segmented worms. Spores are produced by bacteria, fungi, algae, plants. This spore later develops into new organism.
