Answer:
C
Explanation:
The property of plants that makes them a good source of food is the chemical property.
Plant lock-up energy in them in the form of carbohydrate which is derived from the process of photosynthesis. The energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy and when plant-consuming organisms feed on them, the chemical is broken down and the energy is released for the metabolic activities of the body.
These two processes can be expressed as equations:
1. [tex]6CO_2 + 6H_2O + energy --> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_6[/tex]
2. [tex]C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_6 --> 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + energy[/tex]
The correct option here is C.
