Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does chlorophyll capture?
A
Chlorophyll captures water from the air.
B
Chlorophyll captures carbon dioxide from the air.
C
Chlorophyll captures the energy of sunlight.
D
Chlorophyll captures baseballs.
Explanation: 

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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplasts Capture Sunlight When light strikes chlorophyll (or an accessory pigment) within the chloroplast, it energizes electrons within that molecule. These electrons jump up to higher energy levels; they have absorbed or captured, and now carry, that energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is essential to all life on earth; both plants and animals depend on it. It is the only biological process that can capture energy that originates in outer space (sunlight) and convert it into chemical compounds (carbohydrates) that every organism uses to power its metabolism.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplasts and photosynthetic bacteria obtain high-energy electrons by means of photosystems that capture the electrons that are excited when sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll molecules.
