a. True

Solar energy is indeed converted into chemical energy during the process of photosynthesis. Plants, algae, and some bacteria use the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen. This chemical energy stored in glucose molecules can be used by the organism for growth, reproduction, and various metabolic processes.
