Answer:

Sunlight provide light energy.

Chlorophyll absorb light.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sunlight provide light energy or give light energy from sun and it is use to produce glucose from carbondioxide and water which is also a source of energy.

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy and use it to convert carbondioxide and water into glucose and oxygen or it captures sun rays and produce glucose and water.
