How does plants enable to trap energy from the sun?
Sunlight is needed by plants to create photosynthesis. This is how the plants collect and store energy in order to thrive and grow, The sunlight is converted to energy that the plant needs.
What do chloroplasts have inside of them that will help them trap the sun's energy?
Photosynthetic pigments,mainly chlorophyll.They make chloroplasts green.
What traps sunlight and converts it into sugar which is used for energy?
The chlorophyll pigments inside chloroplast trap sunlight during photosynthesis.
Contain green pigments that trap sunlight for photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll
What are Pigments that trap sunlight are called?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment which traps sunlight. This pigment is contained in the chloroplasts.
Does the carotenoids pigment help in the process of photosynthesis?
Yes, carotenoids pigments help in the process of photosynthesis, as accessory pigment molecules. They trap solar energy and transmit this trapped energy to the reaction centre molecule, that is, chlorophyll.
How do plants capture light energy for used in photosynthesis?
Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments in chloroplasts
How do plants make and store food?
They trap the energy in Sunlight using the green pigments in their leaves in the process called "photosynthesis". This process makes sugar and they store the food a polymers of sugar.
Why are pigments needed for photosynthesis?
Pigments are needed because they are useful to autotrophs and plants. Pigments are used to capture the sunlight's energy.
How do accessory pigments differ from chlorophyll a?
Accessory Pigments absorb energy that chlorophyll a does not absorb.
What does Plants use pigments to collect or trap?
Mainly chlorophyll a, but also, other accessory pigments like chlorophyll b.
How do organisms capture light energy?
By using photosynthetic pigments. Primary pigments are the chlorophylls
