Chlorophyll.
The light energy absorbing molecules, such as chlorophyll, are found in the chloroplasts of plant cells. These molecules are responsible for capturing light energy and initiating the process of photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll is the light-absorbing molecule found in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis, where light energy is converted into chemical energy by capturing sunlight and using it to produce glucose.
The stacks of thylakoids found in chloroplasts are called grana. These structures are responsible for housing the light-absorbing pigments and protein complexes involved in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
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.
The decomposition reaction caused by light is called photolysis. This process involves the breaking down of a compound into simpler substances by absorbing light energy.

Substances that absorb light energy are called pigments. These pigments capture specific wavelengths of light, which drives chemical reactions within the organism such as photosynthesis in plants or vision in animals.

The chloroplasts absorb light, allowing the plant to photosynthesize (make food by absorbing water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight) which absorbs all lights except green light which is why plants are green because they reflect the green light instead of absorbing it.

The pigments in chloroplasts, there are different colored chloroplasts depending on what type and color the plant is, absorb different types of light. Plants need the light for photosynthesis to occur, for the plant to live.
Photosynthesis is the process that gathers the sun's energy using light-absorbing molecules called pigments, such as chlorophyll. These pigments are located in the chloroplasts of plant cells and capture sunlight, which is then converted into chemical energy to produce glucose and oxygen.
