Detailed explanation-1: -Conclusion. Photosynthetic cells contain chlorophyll and other light-sensitive pigments that capture solar energy. In the presence of carbon dioxide, such cells are able to convert this solar energy into energy-rich organic molecules, such as glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most plants contain a special colored chemical or pigment called chlorophyll that is used in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is what absorbs the sun’s energy and turns it into chemical energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -The agent for capturing and storing solar energy in the form of molecular bonds is chlorophyll. A portion of the trapped solar energy is used in the process of bonding the atoms together to make the carbohydrate or simple sugar molecules.
