It is both a pigment called chlorophyll and an organelle called a chloroplast that captures light energy and uses it to make food. When making the plant food (glucose) the chloroplast gives the plant a green color, especially in the leaves and stem.
Chloroplasts
Chlorophyll
a plastid containing chlorophyll found in plant cells. They are responsible for absorbing sunlight and performing the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS. :-)
The roots of a plant are not green. A part of a plant is green because it contains chlorophyll, which is used for photosynthesis. Since no light penetrates the ground to reach the roots, the roots need no chlorophyll, and so are brown instead of green.
chloroplasts contains chlorophyll,which gives off green pigment to plants so they don't die.
The chlorophyll is a part of the leaf cell that absorbs sunlight that is then turned into glucose through the transaction of photosynthesisLeaf
Chloroplasts, which are organelle structures located in a eukaryotic plant cell, take in the sunlight which then converts it into food during the photosynthesis process. Chloroplasts also contain a substance called Chlorophyll which give the plants a green pigmentation, resulting in the green-coloring of plants.
Chloroplasts are found in plants to capture light energy
The chloroplast organelle
The chlorophyll found in chloroplasts utilises the sun's energy for photosynthesis.
The green pigment absorbs the sunlight as part of the photosynthesis process.
"chloroplast"
The entire "pitcher" of the Pitcher plant contains chlorophyll is green and can photosynthesise

Green part of the plant having chlorophyll traps energy

haha i have that homework too !!!
The Chloroplasts.the chloroplasts are organelles in a plant cell that take in sunlight.
