Which of the Following Initially Traps Solar Energy in the Process

Question

Which of the following initially traps solar energy in the process of photosynthesis? A)water B)chlorophyll C)triose phosphate D)NADP⁺ E)ATP

Accepted Answer

Chlorophyll is the molecule in plants that absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to synthesize carbohydrates from CO2 and water. This process is known as photosynthesis and is the basis for sustaining the life processes of all plants. Since chlorophyll absorbs light, it is the first step in the process of converting solar energy into chemical energy.
