Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Chlorophyll is important in plants because
A
creats an atmosphere where it can determine the osmotic presure
B
allows the plant to make good xylem tissue
C
make sit possible for plants to grow
D
it takes carbon dioxide and makes oxygen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorophyll’s job in a plant is to absorb light-usually sunlight. The energy absorbed from light is transferred to two kinds of energy-storing molecules. Through photosynthesis, the plant uses the stored energy to convert carbon dioxide (absorbed from the air) and water into glucose, a type of sugar.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chlorophyll is the pigment that gives plants their green color, and is an essential component of photosynthesis whereby plants derive their energy for metabolism, growth, and reproductive processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use energy from the sun to make food. They use carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil to make sugar and oxygen. Most plants release oxygen only during the day, when the sun can power photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants get carbon dioxide from the air through their leaves, and water from the ground through their roots. Light energy comes from the Sun. The oxygen produced is released into the air from the leaves.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chlorophyll, which resides in the chloroplasts of plants, is the green pigment that is necessary in order for plants to convert carbon dioxide and water, using sunlight, into oxygen and glucose.
