First of all, chloroplasts are what convert the sun into ATP, which is the basic universal form of energy.Chloroplasts are able to capture solar energy to perform photosynthesis, the reduction of carbon dioxide to simple carbohydrates.They contain chlorophyll to allow photosynthesis to occur.Light absorbed by Chlorophyll excites the electrons. Different wavelengths of light excite the electrons by different amounts.
The energy in the 'excited electrons' can be passed from one chlorophyll molecule to another, but in the end it will just be lost as fluorescence (ie the energy will be re-emitted as light), unless the excited electron itself can be ejected from the chlorophyll molecule.This process of electron ejection takes place only in chlorophyll molecules which are specifically held in a special protein complex called a reaction centre.
There are two different sorts of reaction centres in plants. In each of these reaction centres, the ejected electron is transferred to an acceptor molecule, which can then pass it on to a different molecule and eventually the electron(s) can be used to fix carbon dioxide. However, you can't keep on ejecting electrons from these special chlorophyll molecules, electrons must be fed back in to replace those ejected. These electrons come from water, resulting in oxygen being evolved.
So, basically, solar energy excites electrons which bind molecules into useable substances. (ie ATP)
Hope this helped =)
This occurs by the plants changing colors because little elves sprinkle little colors on the leaves.
chloroplast
The organelle which converts solar energy into useable energy for the plant is called the chloroplast. The chloroplast contains chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants which traps light and converts it into glucose, water, and oxygen.
Chlorophyll is the molecule that absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to "synthesise" carbohydrates from CO2 and H2O
It contains chlorophyll, which converts sunlight into energy for the cell to use.
Chlorophyll is the pigment that captures the radiant energy from the sun. This energy is then used to facilitate photosynthesis.
b. energy, I think I'm taking the same test as you (e2020)
Chlorophyll in the chloroplasts - in the leaves

Chlorophyll in plants performs this amazing feat through photosynthesis.
A chloroplast converts sunlight into chemical energy.
it converts sunlight energy into chemical energy

chlorophyll maybe
Converts light into energy
Clorophyll converts sunlight into energy for the plant.

chloroplasts
Plants do, using Chlorophyll
