Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight energy that enables photosynthesis in green leaves.
The end products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen, while carbon dioxide is absorbed and oxygen is released from leaves in bright sunlight.
Sunlight absorbed by chlorophyll drives glucose and oxygen production.
Absorb light → split water → store energy → reduce carbon dioxide.
