Correct Answer: Option 3
Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in bonds of sugar. This occurs in the chloroplast of plants. The products of photosynthesis are glucose and water. Glucose, the organic molecule, will be further broken down so that the energy will be in useable form (carbon dioxide). The process of converting glucose (and oxygen) into carbon dioxide (and water) is called respiration.
