What is a part of a plant call that uses energy from sunlight to make food?

The energy of sunlight is absorbed by chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll. Chlorophyll molecules absorb the light and release an electron, starting a string of reactions that eventually results in the production of ATP and NADPH - molecules used by the plants to transport energy, keeping the plant alive and growing. Eventually the chlorophyll regains the lost electron through photolysis - which also produces oxygen as a waste product. Note that among the reactions enabled by the energy absorption of the chlorphyll are those of the "Calvin Cycle" which captures carbon dioxide and transforms it into sugars which are basic building blocks of plants.

Do human and plant cells make food from sunlight?
Plant cells make food using energy from sunlight. Humans do not.
What does chloroplast do in a plant cell do?
It captures the energy from sunlight as chemical energy.
What are the organelles in the plant cells that turn energy from sunlight into food?
chloroplasts
What is sunlight captured by?
Sunlight is captured by plants which is photosynthetic and is turned into plant food and also photovoltaics. Photovolitics is the creation of voltage or solar energy, where photosynthesis is plant food and helps in the fossil fuel.
Does a plant only require the correct chemicals to make plant food?
No. A plant also uses sunlight, an external source of energy.
What is sunlight converted to by plants?
Sunlight/energy is made into food for the plant
How does sunlight helps the plant making food?
Sunlight helps it by giving the plant energy, so it can make food quicker.
Do human and plant cells make food from sunlight?
Plant cells make food using energy from sunlight. Humans do not.
How does sunlight help plant make food?
Sunlight helps it by giving the plant energy, so it can make food quicker.
How do plants produce food from sunlight?
The chlorophyll in a plant's leaf traps the energy from the sunlight. A plant need carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to produce food.
What are organisms that use te sunlight for food called?
An organism that uses sunlight to make food or energy is known as a producer. An example of a producer is a plant. The plant utilizes the sunlight as energy to produce food.
What does chloroplast do in a plant cell do?
It captures the energy from sunlight as chemical energy.
What gives a plant a energy it needs to make food?
Sunlight
What would happen if a baby plant wouldn't be able to have the food energy it need to grow into the sunlight?
The plant will eventually die because if no food energy the plant wont have enough energy to survive itself..
What do the leaves do for a plant?
The leaves collect sunlight and turn it into food for the plant and so it can grow.The leaves take in the sunlight that the plants need to produce food or flowers ;creating energy
What are the organelles in the plant cells that turn energy from sunlight into food?
chloroplasts
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)
