What molecule is used to capture light energy? view available hint(s) what molecule is used to capture light energy? chlorophyll water carbon dioxide nadph atp?

Answer 1

I believe the answer is Chlorophyll. During photosynthesis light energy from the sun is trapped by chlorophyll, it is then used to break down water molecules to hydrogen ions and oxygen gas. This represent the first stage of photosynthesis called light dependent stage. The hydrogen ions formed in this stage then joins the light independent stage (dark stage) and oxygen is released to the atmosphere or released to the atmosphere.
