A student says, "Plants make their own food using sunlight." In photosynthesis, chlorophyll in leaf cells absorbs light energy from the Sun and uses it to build glucose (C6H12O6\mathrm{C_6H_{12}O_6}) from carbon dioxide (CO2\mathrm{CO_2}) and water (H2O\mathrm{H_2O}). Which statement best explains what happens to the light energy during photosynthesis?
