Light is absorbed by the chloroplasts in chlorophyll in the first step of photosynthesis, which makes energy from the sun.

∙ 15y agoInterestingly enough, chlorophyll acts mainly as a "solar power generator", creating an electrical potential within the plant cells. Using this energy, the cells break down carbon dioxide and water to form carbohydrates and, ultimately, organic molecules.

When plants absorb light they change it from light energy to chemical, along with other products. If you are looking for a answer more to do with physics then say and I'll answer it. There can be different interpretations of what is meant by 'absorbed'.

Where can you see absorbed light?
Only in patterns of darkness can you not see invisible absorbed light.
Which is the result of visible light absorbed by a metal?
light at a frequency similar to the absorbed frequency is emitted
How does light enter the light dependant reaction?
Blue and red absorbed best. Green is not absorbed
Which form of light is absorbed or reflected by the ozone layer?
UV light is absorbed by the ozone layer. It is the harmful part of sun's radiation.
Why are some seas transparent?
Water is not totally transparent. Some light gets absorbed when it passes through water. The longer the distance, the more light gets absorbed.Water is not totally transparent.

When light bounces is it absorbed?
No. When light bounces it is not absorbed.
What is it called when absorbed light energy is released by matter?
Example for light energy is absorbed or released, Heat is released and absorbed, electrical energy absorbed or released...
Where can you see absorbed light?
Only in patterns of darkness can you not see invisible absorbed light.
What happens after the light is absorbed by a radiometer?
The light energy is absorbed and dispersed after it hits the radiometer.
What happens when light hits an object it cannot pass through?
If the light can not pass through a object it is opaque . The light will reflect or be absorbed by the object.
Which is the result of visible light absorbed by a metal?
light at a frequency similar to the absorbed frequency is emitted
Can visible light be absorbed in the darkroom?
Visible light can be absorbed anywhere.-- Anything that appears to have a color in sunlight has absorbed most ofthe visible light of all other colors.-- Anything that appears black in an otherwise light room has absorbed all ofthe visible light that fell on it.
When absorbed light energy is released by matter it is called what?
Example for light energy is absorbed or released, Heat is released and absorbed, electrical energy absorbed or released...
Is it the light absorbed or light reflected that initiates the light reactions of photosynthesis?
Pigments in chloroplasts absorb light energy in the form of photons during the light reactions of photosynthesis.
What can light convert to when absorbed?
heat">heatlight can convert to HEAT when absorbed.
What color is not absorbed by chloroplast?
Green light is not absorbed by plants, but is reflected.
What does an object become when light is absorbed?
The object becomes darker in color. If all the light is absorbed, it becomes black.
