Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy?

A
The process of photosynthesis is energy-storing because the process converts light energy into chemical energy, which is stored in the bonds of glucose.
B
The process of photosynthesis is energy-releasing because the process converts light energy into free energy that can be used for cell functions.
C
The process of photosynthesis is energy-conserving because no energy is used throughout the process of forming glucose and oxygen molecules.
D
The process of photosynthesis is energy-wasting because photosynthesis is an inefficient process that depletes the cell of energy stored in the bonds of glucose.
