Chlorophyll absorbs light rays. The light rays excite electrons in the chlorophyll and the electrons leave, where they go into the electron transport chain, and make adenosine triphosphate (ATP.) the ATP is used to combine 5 carbons sugars with the carbon from CO2 to make glucose.

This captured energy can then be used to hydrolize carbonic acid (the union of water and carbon dioxide - which occurres spontaneously in water exposed to carbon dioxide). This is the first step in converting water and carbon dioxide into forming higher carbo-hydrates.
Chlorophyll is the pigment which imparts the green colour to some aerial plant parts like leaves & young stems. It traps the sunlight which is required for photosynthesis.

What is Chlorophyll's most important role during photosynthesis is?
chlorophyll is the green substance that makes up the chloroplast. its role is to absorb energy from the sun and all that goodness during the process of photosynthesis. ;)
Is the major light-absorbing pigment in plants is chlorophyll?
Yes, although there are also other (albeit minor) pigments that also contribute to photosynthesis
What is chlorophyll and what is it's role in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll is a molecule found in chloroplast. When chlorophyll absorbs light, much of the energy is transferred directly to electrons in the chlorophyll molecule, raising the energy levels of these electrons. These high energy electrons make photosynthesis work.
How do plants make chlorophyll?
Plants make chlorophyll by the process of photosynthesis.
What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll is the molecule that absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to "synthesise" carbohydrates from CO2 and H2O
What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis Where is chlorophyll?
It is playing the main roll. the main roll of photosynthesis as a pigment.
What role does chlorphyll play in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll's role in photosynthesis is to convert the light energy from the sun to chemical energy. When enough energy strikes chlorophyll, it looses its electrons and thus they are able to move through a transport chain. Their energy is stored in NADPH which is then transferred to glucose.
What role does chlorophyll play in for photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll is responsible for trapping the sunlight energy which is used to break down the water into hydrogen and oxygen
Is chlorophyll a pigment?
Yes, chlorophyll is a green pigment which has a role in photosynthesis.
What is the role of chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis?
Light ?
What role does chlorophyll play in photonthesis?
They absorb light energy. That energy is used for photosynthesis
What are the roles chloroplasts and chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
The role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis is the absorption of light allowing the plant to obtain energy from the light. Chloroplasts are the organelles in the plant that store the chlorophyll.
What are the roles of chloroplast and chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

What role of chlorophyll in a plants leafs?
It has a major roll. that is doing Photosynthesis.
What roll does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis and where is chlorophyll found?
Chlorophyll is found inside the leaves. Chlorophyll captures the sun's rays and converts them to food.
What role does the leaves play in the forest?
They produce food and oxygen using chlorophyll, water, carbon dioxide, sunlight and nutrients. This process is called Photosynthesis.
