  • Chlorophyll: The Key to Plant Photosynthesis - How Plants Make Food
    The chemical in plants that helps trap light energy to make food is chlorophyll.

    Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plant cells. It absorbs light energy, primarily in the red and blue wavelengths, and uses it to power the process of photosynthesis. This process converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen, providing the plant with energy and building blocks for growth.
