Chloroplasts contain pigments, primarily chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b, which are responsible for absorbing sunlight. Chlorophyll a absorbs blue-violet and red light, while chlorophyll b captures light in the blue and red-orange spectrum. These pigments are crucial for photosynthesis, as they convert solar energy into chemical energy. Additionally, accessory pigments like carotenoids help capture light energy and protect the plant from excess sunlight.
What else can I help you with?
Why are chloroplasts important to plants?
Chloroplasts absorb sunlight for photosynthesis.
Where are the chloroplasts in the onion cells?
There are no chloroplasts in bulb.Thats because they do not get sunlight.
Where does photosynthesis occur within cells?
The sunlight/energy is collected by chloroplasts.
Why don't human cheeks don't have chloroplasts?
Human cheek cells don't have chloroplasts because chloroplasts are what plants use to create food from sunlight. We don't create food from sunlight.
How do you chloroplasts get energy from sunlight?
They have photosynthetic pigments.They absorb energy of sunlight.
What are the chemicals in chloroplasts absorb sunlight?
Chlorophyll is the primary pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs sunlight. Other pigments like carotenoids and xanthophylls also play a role in absorbing light energy for photosynthesis.
Chemicals that allow plants to absorb solar energy are called?
Chlorophyll. It is a pigment found in the chloroplasts of plant cells that absorbs sunlight and is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into usable energy.

Why are a plant cell chloroplasts green?
Because they trap sunlight.
Which organells converts engergy from sunlight?
chloroplasts

chloroplasts
Would you expect a plant's roots or leaves to have more chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts need sunlight for its function. So leaves have more chloroplasts
