Chloroplasts are concentrated in the palisade mesophyll. Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis and contain chlorophyll which is important for making glucose in photosynthesis. How do plants use chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
Responses
A Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight energy for photosynthesis.Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight energy for photosynthesis.
B Chlorophyll stores carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.Chlorophyll stores carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
C Chlorophyll stores glucose made in photosynthesis.Chlorophyll stores glucose made in photosynthesis.
D Chlorophyll stores oxygen made in photosynthesis.

The correct answer is A) Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight energy for photosynthesis.
Plants use chlorophyll, which is located in the chloroplasts, to absorb sunlight energy during the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen. This energy conversion is essential for plants to produce the food they need to grow and survive.
Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color. It is able to absorb certain wavelengths of light, primarily in the red and blue regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. When chlorophyll absorbs light energy, it excites electrons within the molecule, which then go through a series of reactions that ultimately convert the light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
So, plants use chlorophyll to capture sunlight energy, which is then used to power the process of converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose during photosynthesis.
