Chlorophyll is the green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs photons during photosynthesis.
Photons are absorbed by pigments within chloroplasts, such as chlorophyll, which then excite electrons to a higher energy state. These energized electrons are then used in photosynthesis to convert light energy into chemical energy, leading to the production of ATP and NADPH. Ultimately, this energy is utilized to drive the synthesis of carbohydrates in plants.
Special structures in the plant absorb photons
"light" or "sun" or "sunlight" or "photons" or "solar" or "light energy"
Chlorophyll is the molecule found in the chloroplasts of plant cells that traps photons of light during photosynthesis. It absorbs light energy, which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Energy production through the capture of photons of light.
Chloroplasts, only found in plant cells, convert light from the sun, or photons, into ATP.
Chloroplasts collect light energy, specifically in the form of photons, which is used in the process of photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

light energy in the form of photons striking the chlorophyl contained in the chloroplasts
Special structures in the plant absorb photons
Through their stomata leaves bring in carbon dioxide, by being wide enough they are the recipients of many photons of light and these photons strike the pigment chlorophyll enclosed in chloroplasts in the leaves and this come together in the process of photosynthesis.
Most photosynthesis occurs in a portion of the leaf called the palisade mesophyll. Palisade cells contain chloroplasts, which convert the energy stored in photons to chemical energy through photosynthesis.

Chlorophyll is the molecule found in the chloroplasts of plant cells that traps photons of light during photosynthesis. It absorbs light energy, which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
When photons hit photosystem II in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts, they excite electrons that are used to split water molecules into oxygen, protons, and electrons. The oxygen is released as a byproduct, while the electrons are used to generate ATP and NADPH through the process of photosynthesis.
