Explanation:
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 traps sunlight energy for the plant. This energy is used to split the water molecule into Hydrogen and Hydroxide ions. The hydrogen ions then reduce Carbon dioxide into Glucose.
