Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Chlorophyll traps light energy and converts it to chemical energy during photosynthesis.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chloroplast traps solar energy during photosynthesis in plants. It has a green-colored pigment called chlorophyll which helps in the absorption of sunlight. Chloroplast helps in photosynthesis by converting solar energy into chemical energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis is the process by which organisms that contain the pigment chlorophyll convert light energy into chemical energy which can be stored in the molecular bonds of organic molecules (e.g., sugars). Photosynthesis powers almost all trophic chains and food webs on the Earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. In a process driven by light energy, glucose molecules (or other sugars) are constructed from water and carbon dioxide, and oxygen is released as a byproduct.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct option is A True Plants convert solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -In photosynthesis, electrons are transferred from water to carbon dioxide in a reduction process. Chlorophyll assists in this process by trapping solar energy. When chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight, an electron in the chlorophyll molecule is excited from a lower to a higher energy state.
