D. Sunlight breaks cell walls to allow energy in and out.

Respuesta :

Sunlight is converted to chemical energy that is how sunlight used in photosynthesis

Correct answer: C). Sunlight is converted to chemical energy

Sunlight is used in the process of photosynthesis by the plants to make glucose and six molecules of oxygen.

During the process of photosynthesis plants capture sunlight with the help of chlorophyll pigments which are present in their leaves. The light energy trap by plant is used to change water and carbon dioxide into the form of sugar called as glucose.

This glucose is used by the plants as a energy to make cellulose and starch . Cellulose is used as the building material for cell wall and starch is stored in seeds  and other parts of the plant as a food source which is used by heterotrophs as a food source.
