Question

A green pigment that captures light energy for photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Answer;

Chlorophyll

Explanation;

• Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants make their own food, using energy from the sun together with carbon dioxide and water.
• Chlorophyll is a green pigment that is vital for photosynthesis, as they allow plants to absorb energy from sunlight.
• Chlorophyll is found in the chloroplasts of plants, it is required by plants to convert carbon dioxide and water, using sunlight, into oxygen and glucose.
• Photolysis which occurs in the light dependent stage of photosynthesis uses light energy to split water molecules and produce oxygen. In these light-dependent reactions, light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments and transferred to the reaction center of photosystem II
