Answer:
A. chlorophyll's ability to absorb light
Explanation:
Within the chloroplasts of plants, a complex biochemical mechanism, photosynthesis, takes place. Here, light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of stable carbohydrates.
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light Glucose + Oxygen
In the chloroplast, the light-dependent and light-independent reactions in which sugars are formed occur. In the light reaction that stimulates photosystems, pigments such as chlorophyll absorb light energy at specific wavelengths.
Specifically, chlorophyll then forms photosystem complexes (PS I & PSII) with proteins- these absorb and transfer light electrons etc to other downstream reactions like photolysis and the electron transport chain.
