What ultimately happens to the light energy captured during photosynthesis?
(2 points) It is used to produce glucose molecules.
It is turned into more chlorophyll for the plant.
It is used to release the energy from H2O.
It is put into ATP molecules for long-term storage.

Photosynthesis is a process in which light energy is captured by chlorophyll which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. Oxygen is also produced as a by-product in this process.

The light energy is used to split water into oxygen, hydrogen ions and release electrons from it. The electrons pass through many electron carriers through photosystem II and I and ultimately reduce NADH+ to NADPH which is used in the Calvin cycle to produce glucose.

Therefore glucose is produced by the help of light energy captured during photosynthesis.
