In photosynthesis, light energy is... A.) captured as thermal energy. B.) stored as short-term energy. C.) stored as chemical energy. D.) captured as usable energy.

C.

Explanation:

The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into usable chemical energy, is associated with the actions of the green pigment chlorophyll. Most of the time, the photosynthetic process uses water and releases the oxygen that we absolutely must have to stay alive.

Most of this energy is stored in compounds called carbohydrates.

6H2O + 6CO2 > C6H12O6+ 6O2

the index of refraction of the second medium is higher. i just took the test trust me !
