Do plants trap the energy of the sun during the day and make food in the dark?
Green plants photosynthesize, which means they trap the energy of the sun in the chloroplasts and use that energy to make sugars. Photosynthesis occurs in two stages: the light stage in which chlorophyll is activated by sunlight, and the dark stage in which sugars are made. However, the dark stage can occur either in the light or in the dark.
What do plants trap light energy in?
they trap light in a vacuoles
What is the chlorophyll function?
The function of chlorophyll is to capture sunlight and use its energy to make sugars for the plant... I think... Been a while since that unit.
How does a plant trap light energy?
pigment
Does chloroplasts trap light energy?
yes
What organelle functions to trap light energy?
Chloroplasts are the organelles that function to trap light energy in plant cells through the process of photosynthesis.
Process by which autotrophs trap energy from sunlight with chlorophyll and use this energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into simple sugars?
photosynthesis
What does chlorophyll trap for use in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll traps light for the same reason black clothes feel hotter: light absorption and reflection. When chlorophyll, a green pigment, gets hit with light, it reflects green light, absorbing the rest. This energy's then transformed by the pigment into signals for the rest of the plant to produce sugars.
How are palisade cells adapted to trap light energy?
Palisade cells are elongated and packed with chloroplasts containing chlorophyll, maximizing the surface area available for light absorption. Their vertical orientation near the upper surface of the leaf allows them to receive more light for photosynthesis. This adaptation helps palisade cells efficiently trap light energy to produce sugars through photosynthesis.
What structures trap light energy and perform photosynthesis?
Cholorophyll.
What does chloroplast trap from sunlight?
Chloroplasts need energy for photosynthesis. It takes this energy from light
What trap sunlight or energy?
Chloroplasts in plants trap sunlight or light energy. They use this during photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide also traps the suns energy and that is why it is a greenhouse.
