Question

See the image below and identify the part of the plant absorbing the sunlight?

  1. Roots 
  2. Flower
  3. Stem
  4. Leaves

hintHint:

Inside the plant cell especially in the cells of leaves are small organelles called chloroplasts, which store the energy of sunlight. Within the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast is a light-absorbing pigment called chlorophyll, which is responsible for giving the plant its green color.

The correct answer is: Leaves


    • Chlorophyll is present in the leaves of the plants
    • Chlorophyll's job in a plant is to absorb light usually sunlight.
    • The energy absorbed from light is transferred to two kinds of energy-storing molecules. Through photosynthesis, the plant uses the stored energy to convert carbon dioxide (absorbed from the air) and water into glucose, a type of sugar.
