I don't understand this : "The chloroplast contains chlorophyll which helps trap energy from the sun and transform CO2 , H2o, into plucose throught the process of ?"

glucose *

OpenStudy (rogue):

Chloroplast contain many pigments that absorb light. Chlorophyll is a mixture of all these pigments (chlorophyll a, b, xanthophyll, carotenoids, etc.). Light is a form of energy. So when chlorophyll absorbs the sunlight, it gets some energy that it can use for photosynthesis.

OpenStudy (rogue):

Does that explain well enough or are you confused with something else?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeaah . I kinda understand it now. Gracias .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait so what is the process ?

OpenStudy (rogue):

The whole process of forming glucose from light energy is called photosynthesis. There are 2 parts of photosynthesis, a light dependent and a light independent.

Ohhh. Okay. Now I fully understand.
