chlorophyll
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food. During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose is stored as polymeric glucan, in animals as glycogen and in plants as starch.

Detailed explanation-3: -Green plants manufacture glucose through a process that requires light, known as photosynthesis. This process takes place in the leaf chloroplasts. Carbon dioxide and water molecules enter a sequence of chemical reactions within the chloroplasts.
