What does the energy from sunlight actually do to the plant cell? * It heats up the plant cell
It excites electrons
It is unknown
It transforms to kinetic energy

It excites electrons

Explanation:

Energy from sunlight excites electrons in plant cells and drives the chemical reaction needed to produce food in plants.

This reaction is called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, green plants manufacture their food using sunlight in the presence of carbon dioxide and water. The product of the reaction is glucose and oxygen gas. The role of the sunlight is to excite electrons which facilitates the process.
