Hi everyone for this problem, we're told the light energy from the sun is the main source of energy for photosynthesis true or false. So we want to state whether this statement is true or false. So let's go ahead and talk about photosynthesis. So in photosynthesis plants convert light energy from the sun to chemical energy. And this statement says the light energy from the sun is the main source of energy for photosynthesis. So this statement is going to be true. Okay, this statement is true because, as we said in photosynthesis, plants convert light energy from the sun to chemical energy. That's the end of this problem. I hope this was helpful.
