Question 13
The role of the pigment ________ is to absorb ________ to perform _______.
a
chloroplast, thermal energy, photosynthesis
b
anthocyanines, light energy, aerobic cellular respiration
c
chlorophyll, light energy, photosynthesis
d
chlorophyll, chemical energy, fermentation
c
chlorophyll, light energy, photosynthesis
The correct answer is c.
The role of the pigment chlorophyll is to absorb light energy to perform photosynthesis.
The correct answer is C: chlorophyll, light energy, photosynthesis.
To arrive at the correct response, you need to understand the roles of chlorophyll, the type of energy absorbed, and the process it is involved in.
Chlorophyll is a pigment found in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Its primary function is to capture light energy from the sun. This absorbed light energy is then used in the process known as photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy. In this process, chlorophyll absorbs the light energy and utilizes it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
Therefore, option C is the correct answer as chlorophyll absorbs light energy for the process of photosynthesis.
