Chlorophyll, but also absorb light in things like beta-carotene.

visible spectrum, particularly in the blue (400-500 nm) and red (600-700 nm) regions. They contain pigments called chlorophylls, which are responsible for capturing and converting light energy into chemical energy during photosynthesis. Green light (500-600 nm) is not absorbed as efficiently, which is why chloroplasts appear green.

Where do plants take in sunlight?
Chloroplasts absorb the light.
Which parts of plant does not have any chloroplasts?
Parts cannot get light. Mainly they are roots
Do mitochondria produce food from sunlight?
No, mitochondria are not photoreactive. It is the chlorophyll in chloroplasts that allows them to use light energy. Mitochondria do not have anything in them to do this. Instead, they make energy by breaking apart glucose.They use light energy indirectly.They use glucose as the fuel. Glucose contain energy from sun light
what does chloroplasts absorb from?
Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant. Chloroplasts capture light energy from the sun to produce the free energy stored in ATP and NADPH through a process called photosynthesis.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum do the chloroplasts use?
Chloroplasts of different plants absorb different wavelengths, but usually regions within the Visible light band are used.
What molecules in chloroplasts can absorb light?
A type of plastids called chloroplasts absorb the light.
Why can plants absorb light?
chloroplasts
Where do plants take in sunlight?
Chloroplasts absorb the light.
What fuels light independent reactions in chloroplasts?
Sun light is the fuel used.Chlorophyll absorb sun light.
Which parts of plant does not have any chloroplasts?
Parts cannot get light. Mainly they are roots
What parts of plants have chloroplasts?
Mainly parts which get sun light well. Leaves are modified with many chloroplasts .

Instead, they make energy by breaking apart glucose.They use light energy indirectly.They use glucose as the fuel. Glucose contain energy from sun light
Why do plantsneed leaves?
The leaves contain chloroplasts, that absorb light and make energy for the plant
Inside the chloroplasts are colored substances that reflect or absorb light These substances are called blank?
pigment
Why is Chloroplasts green in colour.?
Because they contain chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorb energy from sun light.
what does chloroplasts absorb from?
Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant. Chloroplasts capture light energy from the sun to produce the free energy stored in ATP and NADPH through a process called photosynthesis.
What is the energy for the photosynthesis to go inside the chloroplasts?
It Is sun light. pigments absorb sun light.
