Question: During which chemical process is energy absorbed?
Answer: plants photosynthesizing
Hypothesis: a plant absorbs energy for photosynthesis
Supporting facts: sent1: photosynthesis is a kind of chemical reaction sent2: solar energy is a kind of heat energy sent3: sunlight is a kind of solar energy sent4: if an object / a substance / a location absorbs solar energy then that object / that substance will increase in temperature sent5: solar radiation means solar energy sent6: if an object / something is in the sunlight then that object / that something will absorb solar energy sent7: solar energy is a kind of energy sent8: photosynthesis means green plants convert carbon dioxide and water and solar energy into carbohydrates and food and oxygen for themselves sent9: sunlight is a kind of light sent10: solar energy is a source of electricity sent11: a plant is a kind of organism sent12: sunlight shining means sunlight is provided sent13: receiving sunlight is synonymous with absorbing sunlight sent14: absorbing something is a kind of method for obtaining something sent15: sunlight means solar energy sent16: to receive sunlight means to absorb sunlight sent17: sunshine means sunlight sent18: photosynthesis is a kind of chemical process sent19: if something is required for a process, then that something must be obtained for that process sent20: the sun transfers solar energy / light energy / heat energy from itself to the planets / earth through sunlight sent21: if something transfers energy to something else then that something else absorbs that energy sent22: sunlight produces heat sent23: a solar panel converts sunlight / solar energy into electrical energy / electricity sent24: absorbing sunlight causes objects to heat sent25: if an organism uses a process to convert something to something else, then that something is required by that organism for that process
Reasoning: [BECAUSE] sunlight is a kind of solar energy [AND] photosynthesis means green plants convert carbon dioxide and water and solar energy into carbohydrates and food and oxygen for themselves [INFER] int1: photosynthesis means green plants convert carbon dioxide and water and sunlight into carbohydrates and food and oxygen for themselves [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] photosynthesis is a kind of chemical process [INFER] int2: photosynthesis is a kind of process in which plants convert carbon dioxide and water and sunlight into carbohydrates and food and oxygen for themselves [BECAUSE] a plant is a kind of organism [AND] if an organism uses a process to convert something to something else, then that something is required by that organism for that process [INFER] int3: if a plant uses a process to convert something into something else then that something is required by that plant for that process [BECAUSE] int2 [AND] int3 [INFER] int4: a plant requires sunlight for photosynthesis [BECAUSE] absorbing something is a kind of method for obtaining something [AND] if something is required for a process, then that something must be obtained for that process [INFER] int5: if something is required for a process, then that something can be absorbed for that process [BECAUSE] int4 [AND] int5 [INFER] int6: a plant absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis [BECAUSE] sunlight is a kind of solar energy [AND] solar energy is a kind of energy [INFER] int7: sunlight is a kind of energy [BECAUSE] int6 [AND] int7 [INFER] int8: a plant absorbs energy for photosynthesis
