In photosynthesis what is path followed by energy

Question

In photosynthesis what is the path followed by the energy which are absorbed by plants?

Answer 1

The energy source of the photosynthesis is sun, the central and unique star of our planetary system. In photosynthesis the solar energy is altered in chemical energy, the energy of the chemical bonds of produced glucose molecules (and of released molecular oxygen). The energy of glucose is then stored as starch (glucose polymer) or it is employed in the cellular respiration procedure and transferred to ATP molecules. ATP is consumed in metabolic processes which spend energy (for instance, in active transport across membranes).
