During photosynthesis, radiant energy from the sun is transferred to plants and other photosynthetic organisms. the chloroplasts in the cells of these organisms then transform the radiant energy into chemical potential energy stored in the bonds of a. highly condensed carbon compounds, such as carbohydrates. b. protein molecules. c. carbon dioxide. d. water molecules which then evaporate through openings called stomata.

A. highly condensed carbon compounds, such as carbohydrates.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis includes the transformation of the radiant energy of sunlight into the chemical energy of carbohydrates stored in their chemical bonds. The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis temporarily store the energy of sunlight in the form of ATP and NADPH. ATP and NADHP are consumed during light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.

ATP molecules serve to drive the endothermic reactions of the Calvin cycle while NADPH serves as reducing power. In this way, their energy is transformed into the chemical energy of carbohydrates such as glucose.

[ answer ]

foliated

[ explanation ]

foliation forms in a rock when pressure squeezes the rock together. the rock then has a design of many different color little lines. there are three types of foliated rock. the types are slate, schist, and gneiss. each type of foliated rock is different based on grain size and foliation characteristics. the lines appear when the rock has been under pressure.

kelp are large brown algae that live in cool, relatively shallow waters close to the shore. they grow in dense groupings much like a forest on land. these underwater towers of kelp provide food and shelter for thousands of fish, invertebrates, and marine mammal species.
