In simple words a plant absorbs sunlight through their leaves.
The leaf cells (mainly palisade cells in the palisade layer in the mesophyll layer) contain organelles called chloroplasts which have a pigment called chlorophyll. That chlorophyll absorbs light energy from the sun and convert it into chemical energy.

∙ 15y agoyes, sunlight is absorbed by plants, through the chlorophyll which is found in the chloroplasts. This sunlight is used to start the process of photosynthesis. yes, sunlight is absorbed by plants, through the chlorophyll which is found in the chloroplasts.

Energy source of photosynthesis?
the sun since it is white light it has more color. plants have better photosynthesis when in blues and reds light which are absorbed. green is not used so it is reflected giving the color of green in most plants.
What do all the plants need sunlight?
There are certain frequencies of light that are more helpful to plants. If you are trying to grow plants with artificial light, you will want to use the "full spectrum" light fixtures that mimic the light spectrum of natural sunlight.
What if closed the curtains allowing no sunlight through for the plant?
Depends on the plant. Some plants need direct sunlight some plants need shaded sunlight. I there is no sunlight then the plant will slowly die
How does a plant get the substances it needs for photosynthesis?
Plants need only two substances for photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide. Water is absorbed from the soil (or from the water if they are acquatic plants) and carbon dioxide is absorbed from the air (or again, from the water if the plants grow underwater).
Why is sunlight important for a plant to make its food?
because the plant converts the light energy (from the sun) into chemical energy (it's food)
Does sunlight have to be absorbed by plants before photosynthesis can take place?
yep
What does the water absorbed from the roots combine with to produce the plants food?
CO2 and sunlight
What is absorbed by plants to fuel the process of photosynthesis?
sunlight, co2 and water, all plants need these things to produce glucose which is the main fuel source for plants ;)
Is sunlight absorbed by chlorophyll in green part of plants?
no the chlorophyll is an green chemical created from the sun's rays
What percentage of the sunlight that reaches the earth is absorbed by plants?
it depends on the place but they absorb around 25 to 75 percent
What is sunlight changed into when it is absorbed?
When sunlight is absorbed it is changed into heat. This is because of the wavelength taken to absorb it.
What happens to the water and sunlight during photosynthesis process?
Sunlight turns into chlorophyll (food for plants)
Why is the sun important for food and plants?
Well, different plants need different amounts of sunlight. They need sunlight for photosynthesis, that's how they make their own food. Without sunlight, there would be no photosynthesis, and plants would not survive.
Do plants grow better in sunlight or no sunlight?
sunlight because plants can`t grow without sunlight
What is absorbed from the soil by the plant roots and carried up to the leaves?
Water is absorbed by the roots of the plant.
What happens when sunlight hits a surface?
The sunlight will be absorbed by the surface.If the surface is a mirror,lesser light will be absorbed.More will be reflected. If the surface is black,more light will be absorbed.
What happens when sunlight hits a dark surface?
The sunlight will be absorbed by the surface.If the surface is a mirror,lesser light will be absorbed.More will be reflected. If the surface is black,more light will be absorbed.
