Chlorophyll absorbs the light needed for photosynthesis.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is the process where green plants manufacture their food. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide combines with water in the presence of light energy from the sun to produce glucose and oxygen as a byproduct.
From the statements listed, chlorophyll does not combine with water. Chlorophyll is a pigment in plant that simply absorbs light energy from the sun which is necessary for the process of photosynthesis. This makes photosynthesis a simple process in which light energy from the sun is transformed to chemical energy.
