the chloroplasts are what absorb solar energy

Reply:The molecule chlorophyll (a photosynthetic pigment, found inside the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts) is the specific substance that converts light energy into chemical energy. The way it does this is as follows:





1) Visible light photon collides with electrons in chlorophyll.


2) Electron given energy and promoted out of chlorophyll molecule.


3) High energy electron passes down electron transport chain in thylakoid membrane, where its energy is harnessed chemically.
Reply:The plant's leaves all contain plant cells. However it is inside these cells that organelles named chloroplasts use their chlorophyll (green pigment,) to absorb the sun's light and convert it to energy in the process of photosynthesis.
