Cloroplasts!
Sunlight and Water
The chloroplast contains chlorophyll and is located in the cytoplasm. Photosynthesis happens because of the chloroplast and the chlorophyll captures the energy from the sunlight.

Sunlight energy is trapped by chlorophyll located in the chloroplasts of plant cells. This energy is used in the process of photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a form of chemical energy that plants can use for growth and metabolism.
Sunlight gets trapped in the chlorophyll, which convert it into chemical energy. (ATP) The cell cannot use raw sunlight, but it has to use some sort of energy to perform most tasks.
No, the energy trapped by chlorophyll is located in photosystem I and II. Light energy is first captured by PS II and an electron is then transferred to a primary electron acceptor known as plastoquinone. Pq then transfers it's electron to the cytochrome complex that transfers its energy to the electron transport system which passes it on to plastocyanin which in turn gives its electron to PS I where it is re-excited by photons. This process is known as the electron transport but the energy captured by chlorophyll is located in the photosystems.
energy from sunlight is trapped by chlorophy11, located in the thylakoid membranes
Chlorophyll takes energy from sunlight.
The energy trapped in covalent bonds in glucose initially comes from the sun through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy stored in the form of glucose molecules.
Yes, sunlight is necessary for the production of chlorophyll in plants. Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs sunlight and is crucial for the process of photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight into energy. Without sunlight, plants would not be able to produce chlorophyll and carry out photosynthesis.
Autotrophic (meaning self-providing foods) organisms use photosynthesis as their way of getting energy. The first stage of photosynthesis is when light energy is trapped by the Chlorophyll. The Chlorophyll is located in the Chloroplast, an organelle that is used with photosynthesis. This stage is a light-dependent reaction then precedes into a light-independent reaction where stages are used to make Glucose molecules (energy) which are transferred to make ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is the actual energy used in cell metabolism (energy requiring usage in the cell).
No, chlorophyll does not trap glucose from sunlight. Chlorophyll is a pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy in the form of glucose, not by trapping existing glucose from sunlight.
