Question

Light energy from the Sun is used by a plant to perform

photosynthesis. Which structure of the plant helps it to absorb this
energy?

Answer 1

Chlorophyll absorbs the energy from the sun.

Step-by-step explanation:

Light absorbed by chlorophyll excites the electrons in the ring as shown below.

Answer 2

chlorophyll

Step-by-step explanation:

The main pigment used in photosynthesis, chlorophyll, reflects green light and most intensely absorbs red and blue light. In plants, chloroplasts containing chlorophyll are subject to photosynthesis.

A double membrane wraps chloroplasts and includes a third inner membrane, the thylakoid membrane, which forms long folds within the organelle.
