How do plants use chlorophyll in photosynthesis? A) Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight energy for photosynthesis. B) Chlorophyll stores carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. C) Chlorophyll stores glucose made in photosynthesis. D) Chlorophyll stores oxygen made in photosynthesis.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A, Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight energy for photosynthesis

Reason -

Chlorophyll is a light absorbing pigment which is also a green coloring agent which traps light energy from the sun, which combines carbon dioxide and water to produce sugars through the process of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll are found in thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and it is also responsible for reflecting the green light and producing green color of the plant.  

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight energy for photosynthesis.
