Detailed explanation-1: -In most plants, the leaves are the main food factories. They capture the sun’s energy with the help of chlorophyll in the leaf cells. The chlorophyll traps and packages the energy from the light of the sun in a process called photosynthesis. Leaves usually have a large surface so they can collect the most sunlight.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plant leaves contain chlorophyll pigment which is responsible for capturing the sun’s energy to carry out photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chlorophyll is the green pigment present in the leaves and in the stems of herbs. It helps to capture sunlight required for photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells. It is like a solar panel that changes sunlight energy into electric energy. The entire process is called photosynthesis and it all depends on the little green chlorophyll molecules in each chloroplast.
