The sun has been up for several hours, and it has been shining on these trees. What can the trees do because they are in the sunlight? What does this mean for the number of energy storage molecules in the trees?

The options to the given are:

Give off carbon to the air. Giving off carbon allows them to make energy storage molecules.

Give off carbon to the air. Giving off carbon uses up energy storage molecules.

Take in carbon from the air. The carbon is used to make energy storage molecules.

Take in carbon from the air. The carbon is used to break down energy storage molecules.

Option C

Explanation:

Only plants has the ability to use carbon dioxide and water in order to make carbohydrate as a source of energy.

The plant use the sunlight to combine carbon dioxide and water and convert it into glucose.

This glucose is used by the plants as a source of energy and rest of the glucose is stored in the plants as a stored form of energy. This stored form of energy is known as starch.

Hence, option C is correct. The plant takes in the carbon dioxide and makes energy storage molecules.

The trees can take in carbon from the air. The carbon is used to make energy storage molecules.
