Solar energy absorbed by chlorophyll necessary for photosynthesis.
A
sunlight
B
heat
C
water
D
soil
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorophyll gives plants their characteristic green color and is essential for photosynthesis because it helps convert solar energy into chemical energy. Chlorophyll absorbs energy during photosynthesis and converts water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-2: -To perform photosynthesis, plants need three things: carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. for photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -When chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight, an electron in the chlorophyll molecule is excited from a lower to a higher energy state. The excited electron is more easily transferred to another molecule. A chain of electron-transfer steps follows, ending when an electron is transferred to a carbon dioxide molecule.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chlorophyll, a particular coloured molecule or pigment found in most plants, is employed in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs solar energy and converts it to chemical energy.
