Question
Can you tell?
Describe one natural chain of transformation of energy.
Solution
One natural chain of energy transformation is photosynthesis. Solar energy is converted into light energy, which plants use to produce chemical energy (glucose). This chemical energy is stored in plants and transferred through the food chain, powering various life processes.
