Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Chlorophyll traps light energy and converts it to chemical energy during photosynthesis.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorophyll is what absorbs the sun’s energy and turns it into chemical energy. Not all the light energy from the sun is absorbed. Sunlight has many different colors in it. Chlorophyll usually absorbs red and blue light from the sun and reflects green light.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis is the process by which organisms that contain the pigment chlorophyll convert light energy into chemical energy which can be stored in the molecular bonds of organic molecules (e.g., sugars). Photosynthesis powers almost all trophic chains and food webs on the Earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. In a process driven by light energy, glucose molecules (or other sugars) are constructed from water and carbon dioxide, and oxygen is released as a byproduct.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplast traps solar energy during photosynthesis in plants. It has a green-colored pigment called chlorophyll which helps in the absorption of sunlight. Chloroplast helps in photosynthesis by converting solar energy into chemical energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -The correct option is A True Plants convert solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
