What is the light trapper in photosynthesis?

the leaves of a plant absorb the light during photosynthesis


What helps the green leaves change water and air to food from plant?

Light energy during photosynthesis


How do plants have photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is the change of light energy into chemical energy. Plants use the sunlight, the soil, the water to make a substance known as chlorophyll (this keeps leaves green). This is like the plant's food.


What cell is used to trap light during photosynthesis?

A plant cell is used to trap light during photosynthesis.


Whats is the functions of the leaf?

Leaves enable photosynthesis to occur. Photosynthesis is the process by which leaves absorb light and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrate for plants to grow.
