Photosynthesis is not the process of capturing sunlight, it's the process of turning light energy into chemical energy. Plants capture energy through chloroplasts, which is what our solar panels are based on.

What cell caputres energy and producess food?

All cells "capture" energy, and are able to convert that energy into food. Plant Cells (Prokaryotes) capture the energy emitted from the sun and convert that into energy so they can survive (Photosynthesis).


The process by which a cell captures the energy in sunlight?

Plant cells use chloroplast- animals don't capture energy.


What do plant cells use to capture light?

Plant cells use chlorophyll, a pigment found in chloroplasts, to capture light energy during photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy that is used to produce glucose and oxygen.


Is chloroplast plant or animal cell?

Chloroplast is a structure found in plant cells. It is responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants capture sunlight and convert it into energy. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts.


What does the Chlorplast of the cell do?

Chloroplast is an organelle that is only found in plant cells. It's job is to capture light energy and can make sugar from carbon dioxide and water. It contains a pigment that makes plant cells, stems, and leaves green.


How does photosynthesis provide energy for the plant cells?

it feeds the plant cells


Organelles in plant cells that function in photosynthesis or storage are called?

Organelles in plant cells that function in photosynthesis or storage are called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the sun. Vacuoles are involved in storage of soluble carbohydrates or proteins.


What is a organelle of plant cells that helps the plant capture the suns energy?

Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells that capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll, the green pigment that absorbs light energy, allowing plants to produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. This process is essential for plant growth and energy production.


Where is the green chlorophyll located in a plant cell?

The green chlorophyll is located in the chloroplasts of a plant cell. Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis and are abundant in leaf cells where they capture sunlight to produce energy for the plant.


What structures in plant cells capture light energy to produce food?

Chloroplasts are the structures in plant cells that capture light energy through photosynthesis to produce food in the form of glucose. These organelles contain chlorophyll pigments that absorb light and convert it into chemical energy used for plant growth and development.


Energy is captured for photosynthesis by?

Energy is captured for photosynthesis by pigments called chlorophyll, which are located in the chloroplasts of plant cells. These pigments absorb sunlight and convert it into chemical energy that is used to drive the process of photosynthesis.


Where do plant cells get energy for photosynthesis?

sunlight
