They absorb energy of light. That energy used to drive photosynthesis


What is the role of H in photosynthesis Short answer (ex chlorophyll absorbs light) preferred?

In short, it is used in the Calvin-cycle to reduce CO2 into a sugar.


How energy and hydrogen sequestered in the light reactions of photosynthesis are used to drive the dark reactions of photosynthesis?

You should ask Mr. Newberry. Hahaha


Red and blue light support the highest rates of photosynthesis because?

The rate of photosynthesis is maximum in blue light because the chlorophyll absorbs more light in the range of 400-500 nm wavelength. In addition, chlorophyll also absorbs light in the red region.


What cell is used to trap light during photosynthesis?

A plant cell is used to trap light during photosynthesis.


Where in chloroplasts is light energy absorbed?

chloroplast have membrane bound sac like structures piled up on top of each other called thylakoids which have chlorophyll(pigment having "Mg"ion) filled in them, this pigment is primarily responsible for absorption of photons of light


Is chlorophyll one of the raw materials needed for photosynthesis?

No, yet it is a crucial and complex Part of the Factory that processes the raw materials. While Chlorophyll is required for photosynthesis, it is not used up in the process of photosynthesis and none of its parts are used in the chemical reactions of photosynthesis. Only the energy it absorbs from the Sun is used in photosynthesis.


What is light in photosynthesis?

The light in photosynthesis really gets the process going. The light is used to feed the plant along with the water.


What is a plant cell used for?

Plant cells can be used to harness the energy of the sun, the chloroplasts in it contains chlorophyll, the green pigment that gives leaves their colour and absorbs light energy. Also, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts!


Photosynthesis takes how many processes?

The plant absorbs CO2 and oxygen. These molecules are used in the Calvin Cycle, which is also called the light-independent reaction. The products of the Calvin Cycle are then used in the Electron Transport Chain (ETC or Light-Dependent Reaction) to produce ATP.
