Question

• Chlorophyll in a leaf is required for :
(A) Emitting green light
(C) Storing starch in leaves
(B) Trapping light energy
(D) Attracting water​

Answer 1

Chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis, which allows plants to absorb energy from light. Chlorophyll molecules are arranged in and around photosystems that are embedded in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.This pair effects the final function of chlorophylls, charge separation, leading to biosynthesis.

Answer 2

Answer:

Chlorophyll helps in (B) Trapping light energy.

Explanation:

• Chlorophyll is a pigment that is responsible for green color of plants.
• It plays a significant role in the process of photosynthesis which is a method through which plants make their own food.
• It does not emit green light, it absorbs other colors in sunlight and reflects green color which is why plants are of green color.
• It helps in converts the sunlight into energy and this energy is stored for converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose.
• This glucose in addition with other nutrients from soil is stored as food and helps in growth of plants.
