What is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose?

Which organelle is responsible for producing energy in a eukaryotic cell?
A mitochondrion is a round to oval-shaped organelle found in the cells of almost all eukaryotic organisms. It produces energy, known as ATP, for the cell through a series of chemical reactions.

Which type of electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wavelength?
Gamma Rays- Gamma Rays-have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves are generated by radioactive atoms and in nuclear explosions. Gamma-rays can kill living cells, a fact which medicine uses to its advantage, using gamma-rays to kill cancer cells
What causes tides on Earth?
They are caused by the gravitational forces exerted on the earth by the moon, and to a lesser extent, the sun. When the highest point in the wave, or the crest, reaches a coast, the coast experiences a high tide. When the lowest point, or the trough, reaches a coast, the coast experiences a low tide.
Which planet is known as the "Red Planet"?

What is the process by which plants make their own food using sunlight?
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
What is the smallest unit of matter?
Atoms are the smallest units of matter that have all the characteristics of an element. Atoms combine to form molecules. Atoms are composed of smaller particles known as protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Which gas is responsible for the green color of leaves in plants?
