Either A or B
|
|
|
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: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The correct option is A True Plants convert solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
