What is the grainy texture on the sun's surface produced by numerous bright markings called?

It's called granulation. (Also, I think it's actually a separate thing from the bright spots.)


The absorption spectrum for chlorophyll reveals that it?

Chlorophylls absorb light most strongly in the red and violet portions of the spectrum. Green light is poorly absorbed so when white light (which contains the entire visible spectrum) shines on leaves, green rays are transmitted and reflected giving leaves their green color. The similarity of the action spectrum of photosynthesis and the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll tells us that chlorophylls are the most important pigments in the process.


How an absorption spectrum can identify a star's composition?

By looking at the lines in a star's spectrum of light, astronomers can tell what kinds of elements the star is made of. This happens because when a beam of light hits an atom or molecule, that atom absorbs a characteristic wavelength (color) of visible light. Scientists have made a huge list of different elements and the different patterns of lines observed in theirj corresponding "spectra" (fancy word for light spectrums), and by using such lists can deduce precisely what each star is made of.

What is the relation between the electromagnetic spectrum of solar radiation and the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll?

Solar radiation peaks in energy in the mid-yellow range. Chlorphyll's absorption also peaks in this range. It is a demonstration of the adaption of plants to optimizing their production efficiency.

How is the emission spectrum related to the absorption spectrum?

They are related by they are both spectrums that give the color(s) that the element is. The Emission Spectrum shows what color(s) it gives off, and the Absortion shows what color it absorbs and doesn't show. They also fit together and make a continuous spectrum.
