Answer:

B. absorbs energy from the Sun

Explanation:

This is what Chlorophyll does. Chlorophyl's main job is to collect the energy from the sun, and then, it can help the plant make the glucose (plant food).

Look at picture for more explanation. (with picture explanation coming below Extra info)

Extra info:

I learned in my class, that Chlorophyll is on the top most layers under the epidermis and dermis of the leave's skin. There is first the Epidermis, then there are lots and ltos of chloroplast cells, then there are chlorophyll cells in it.

With Picture explanation:

1st image:

The first image shows the leaf's structure. First, you can see the epidermis (on the top), then you can see all those light green round-edged-boxes, those are all the chloroplast cells, then, inside them, are darker green cells, they are the chlorophyl cells.

2nd image:

The second image shows the structure of a chloroplast cell.

The giant light green part on the outside is the chloroplast, then inside that, there are green things, which are the chloroplast, (here they are called thylakoid, because that's the scientific word for it). And then, the other things shown are just extra info.

Answer:

We are losing Earth's greatest biological treasures just as we are beginning to appreciate their true value. Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface; now they cover a mere 6% and experts estimate that the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years.

One and one-half acres of rainforest are lost every second with tragic consequences for both developing and industrial countries.

Rainforests are being destroyed because the value of rainforest land is perceived as only the value of its timber by short-sighted governments, multi-national logging companies, and land owners.

Nearly half of the world's species of plants, animals and microorganisms will be destroyed or severely threatened over the next quarter century due to rainforest deforestation.

Experts estimates that we are losing 137 plant, animal and insect species every single day due to rainforest deforestation. That equates to 50,000 species a year. As the rainforest species disappear, so do many possible cures for life-threatening diseases. Currently, 121 prescription drugs sold worldwide come from plant-derived sources. While 25% of Western pharmaceuticals are derived from rainforest ingredients, less that 1% of these tropical trees and plants have been tested by scientists.

Most rainforests are cleared by chainsaws, bulldozers and fires for its timber value and then are followed by farming and ranching operations, even by world giants like Mitsubishi Corporation, Georgia Pacific, Texaco and Unocal.

There were an estimated ten million Indians living in the Amazonian Rainforest five centuries ago. Today there are less than 200,000.

In Brazil alone, European colonists have destroyed more than 90 indigenous tribes since the 1900's. With them have gone centuries of accumulated knowledge of the medicinal value of rainforest species. As their homelands continue to be destroyed by deforestation, rainforest peoples are also disappearing.

Most medicine men and shamans remaining in the Rainforests today are 70 years old or more. Each time a rainforest medicine man dies, it is as if a library has burned down.

When a medicine man dies without passing his arts on to the next generation, the tribe and the world loses thousands of years of irreplaceable knowledge about medicinal plants.
