Detailed explanation-1: -Chloroplasts: Chloroplasts are plant cell organelles contain green pigment chlorophyll capture the energy of sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell by photosynthesis. Q. How is the chlorophyll able to capture solar energy during photosynthesis?
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Conclusion. Photosynthetic cells contain chlorophyll and other light-sensitive pigments that capture solar energy.
Detailed explanation-4: -A chlorophyll a molecule has a hydrophobic tail that inserts into the thylakoid membrane and a porphyrin head that captures light energy.
