How do plants make sugar from the captured energy?

The Sun gives the energy that the plant needs to perform photosynthesis in the form of light. the chlorophyll in the chloroplasts become "exited" and start to move around in the presence of light. When in low light conditions, such as dawn the chloroplasts move towards the top of the palisade layer due to cytoplasmic streaming. this allows maximum amount of photosynthesis to be carried out. In high levels of light the chloroplasts move back down to the bottom of the palisade cell as chlorophyll are damaged by light.


How do plants captured the sunlight?

with chlorophyll in chloroplasts in plant cells in a leaf


Where within a plant cell is is sunlight captured and converted to chemical energy?

In the chloroplasts and chlorophyll.


Which term is part of photosynthesis when light energy is captured and transferred to a molecule?

The term you're looking for is "light-dependent reactions." During these reactions, light energy is captured by chlorophyll and other pigments in the chloroplasts, which then excites electrons and transfers that energy to molecules like ATP and NADPH. This process is essential for converting solar energy into chemical energy that plants use to synthesize glucose in the subsequent light-independent reactions.


What color are chloroplasts?

Chloroplasts are typically green due to the presence of chlorophyll, a pigment necessary for photosynthesis. The green color arises from chlorophyll absorbing red and blue light while reflecting green light.

Do mitochondria capture light energy?

No, mitochondria do not capture light energy. Mitochondria are organelles responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration. Light energy is captured by chloroplasts in plant cells during photosynthesis.
