GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorophyll ‘a’ is the principal photosynthetic pigment found in all green plants. It absorbs the blue and red wavelengths of visible light and aids in the process of converting it into chemical energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -The radiant energy absorbed by the plant is transformed during the process of photosynthesis and is stored within the newly formed sugar as chemical energy in the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -In green plants, light energy is captured by chlorophyll in the chloroplasts of the leaves and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds (simple and complex sugars) that are the basis of both plant and animal life.
