Detailed explanation-1: -Sunlight is converted to chemical energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the main energy-storing molecule in living organisms. ATP is then transported throughout the chloroplast and used to provide the chemical energy necessary to power other metabolic reactions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Light energy is converted into chemical energy by the green pigment molecule, chlorophyll, and involves two sets of reactions, the light reaction, and the dark reaction.
Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthetic cells contain chlorophyll and other light-sensitive pigments that capture solar energy. In the presence of carbon dioxide, such cells are able to convert this solar energy into energy-rich organic molecules, such as glucose.
