What type of energy is created by photosynthesis?

Kinetic
Electrical
Chemical
Potential

The correct answer is: Chemical

Photosynthesis is a process that converts light energy into chemical energy. The energy created in this process is stored in the form of chemical bonds, specifically in molecules of glucose. Therefore, the correct answer is C, chemical energy. While photosynthesis does involve some kinetic energy as the molecules and chemicals move and react, it is primarily a chemical process. It does not produce electrical energy, so B is incorrect. Photosynthesis also does not create potential energy, which is energy that is stored and waiting to be released, making D incorrect as well. So, the correct answer is C, chemical energy, because photosynthesis produces energy in the form of glucose, a type of chemical bond.
