They absorb energy of light. That energy used to drive photosynthesis
It is needed for photosynthesis.It captures energy of sunlight
why is the function of chlorophyll in leaves?
chloroplasts
Chlorophyll 'a' convert light energy directly into chemical energy...
Chlorophyll a can absorb solar energy, but only a few in the excited state of chlorophyll a can convert light energy into electricity.
Chlorophyll A is the primary and most common Chlorophyll pigment being used by plants in the natural process of photosynthesis. There are auxiliary pigments which are Chlorophyll B, C, D and E.
Chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis, which allows plants to absorb energy from light. Chlorophyll molecules are arranged in and around photosystems that are embedded in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
traps sunlight for photosynthesis
Chlorophyll helps in photosynthesis
Chlorophyll requires magnesium ions (Mg2+) to form the central component of the chlorophyll molecule. Magnesium is essential for the structure of the chlorophyll molecule and its function in photosynthesis.
The function of chlorophyll is to capture sunlight and use its energy to make sugars for the plant... I think... Been a while since that unit.
That is to carry out photosynthesis. It produces food for organisms
