I'm pretty sure that it is Carbon Dioxide.

sunlight
Energy from sunlight is trapped by plants through a process called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. The energy from sunlight is stored in the chemical bonds of glucose, which can then be used by the plant for growth and energy.
Sunlight and Water
energy from sunlight is trapped by chlorophy11, located in the thylakoid membranes
The energy trapped in covalent bonds in glucose initially comes from the sun through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy stored in the form of glucose molecules.
Sunlight gets trapped in the chlorophyll, which convert it into chemical energy. (ATP) The cell cannot use raw sunlight, but it has to use some sort of energy to perform most tasks.
The sunlight that strikes a leaf but is not trapped by photosynthesis is reflected back by the leaf. Only certain wavelengths of solar energy is absorbed by a leaf.
chlorophyll
Yes, sunlight is absorbed by the chlorophyll molecules in leaf cells during photosynthesis. The process of grafting itself does not trap sunlight, but the grafted plant can still carry out photosynthesis using the energy from sunlight.
