HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Chlorophyll uses sunlight energy to transform the carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and carbon-based compounds such as glucose, a sugar that helps plants grow. In the process, the plant or tree produces excess oxygen, which it releases into the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chlorophyll is a green pigment present in the leaves of green plants. It is responsible for the green color of the plants. It is the raw material used in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their own food in the presence of carbon dioxide, water, sunlight, and chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meanwhile, each chlorophyll molecule replaces its lost electron with an electron from water; this process essentially splits water molecules to produce oxygen (Figure 5). The chloroplast is involved in both stages of photosynthesis. The light reactions take place in the thylakoid.
