Yes, chlorophyll does "harvest light," but it doesn't make glucose; the Calvin Cycle does that.

Plants use light and chlorophyll to help make?
Energy/ their food
Which part of the plants enables them to make food?
plants enables to make food because they have a chlorophyll. chlorophyll is a green pigment that can usually found on green plants.it traps light energy from the sun,they convert light energy into chemical energy. this process is what we called photosynthesis.photo which means light and synthesis means combining together.
How does this chlorophyll help plants make their own food?
It traps in light which the plant then converts to energy for it to consume
What is the job of chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll absorbs all colors of light except for the color green, and collects all of that light energy and excites electrons which eventually are used for the ETC (electron transport chain) and the ATP cycle.
What green plants that can make their own food?
they need light (because of the chlorophyll content, and chlorophyll needs light)
What purpose does chlorophyll serve in the photosynthetic process?
Chlorophyll 'a' convert light energy directly into chemical energy...
How do colorful leaves make their food?
They contain mitochondria which stores light energy as food, also through the use of chlorophyll (a green pigment).
What chemical in plants help trap light energy to make food?
The chemical found in plants that traps light to make food is called chlorophll, plants make their food ina procces called photosynthisis.
Do chlorophyll help plants get energy to make food?
yes
What is the role of chlorophyll during the process of photosynthesis?
The chlorophyll in plants captures the light molecules which well later be used to make NADPH and ATP there are photosynthetic proteins in the thylakoid membrane that absorb light which excites electrons to the next energy level which is used to recharge adp to get ATP and nadp+ to get nadph+h
What turns sunlight into energy?
solar panels in technological terms. It takes in light energy from the sun and converts it into electrical energy. Chlorophyll in natural terms, found in plants. Usually, photoautotrophs that make their own food from the energy they get from light energy.
What substance in plants lets them use light to make energy?
Chlorophyll.
