What happens to sunlight that strikes a leaf but is not trapped by chlorophyll?

It is reflected (including the green frequencies that we see), or warms the leaf (it can be given off as infrared radiation or be carried away by air circulation).

Sunlight energy is trapped by chlorophyll located in the?
thylakoid membransethis answer is the right one! i looked it up multiple times. it is not the electron transport chain because energy in the electron transport chain strikes ELECTRONS and not chlorophyll.:Di hope this helped explain the difference
What is the plant pigment that absorbs sunlight?
Autotrophic (meaning self-providing foods) organisms use photosynthesis as their way of getting energy. The first stage of photosynthesis is when light energy is trapped by the Chlorophyll. The Chlorophyll is located in the Chloroplast, an organelle that is used with photosynthesis. This stage is a light-dependent reaction then precedes into a light-independent reaction where stages are used to make Glucose molecules (energy) which are transferred to make ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is the actual energy used in cell metabolism (energy requiring usage in the cell).
Where do all ingredients for photosynthesis come from?
Photosynthesis come from the leaves of a plant. The leaves have a green pigment called chloroplast that traps energy from the sun and chemically changes it into energy for the plants food needs
Why is chloroplast important to the plant?
Chloroplasts, as there are many in the plant, are present mostly in the palisade cells near the upper epidermis (or surface) of the plant. They are important as they contain a green pigment called chlorophyll, which is used by the plant in photosynthesis, which is the process the plant uses to make food, in the form of carbohydrates, from sunlight, using water and carbon dioxide.
What happens if bacteria are not trapped before air enters the lungs?
You get pneumonia
What trapped the sunlight?
chlorophyll
Energy from sunlight is trapped by chlorophyll located in what?
Cloroplasts!
What happens to sunlight that strike a leaf but is not trapped by photosynthesis?
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.
What two things do plants need to use the trapped energy by chlorophyll?
Sunlight and Water
What does Energy trapped in covalent bonds in glucose comes initially from?
Sunlight. (Temporarily accumulated in chlorophyll)
What happens to the chlorophyll when the energy from the sun is trapped?
Chlorophyll is a catalyst. It facilitates a chemical reaction known as photosynthesis, without being used up or changed by that reaction. Nothing happens to the chlorophyll. It is endlessly reusable.

Why is the sun a important part of energy formation?
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.
Is sunlight trapped by a leafs grafting?
Yes
Is the energy from sunlight trapped by chlorophyll located in the electron transport chain?
No, the energy trapped by chlorophyll is located in photosystem I and II. Light energy is first captured by PS II and an electron is then transferred to a primary electron acceptor known as plastoquinone. Pq then transfers it's electron to the cytochrome complex that transfers its energy to the electron transport system which passes it on to plastocyanin which in turn gives its electron to PS I where it is re-excited by photons. This process is known as the electron transport but the energy captured by chlorophyll is located in the photosystems.
How does energy become trapped in fuels?
from heat and sunlight
The ultimate source of energy trapped during photosynthesis is?
sunlight
