Answer the following question given this paragraph: 

Figure 5.12 Light energy is absorbed by a chlorophyll molecule and is passed along a pathway to other chlorophyll molecules. The energy culminates in a molecule of chlorophyll found in the reaction center. The energy “excites” one of its electrons enough to leave the molecule and be transferred to a nearby primary electron acceptor. A molecule of water splits to release an electron, which is needed to replace the one donated. Oxygen and hydrogen ions are also formed from the splitting of water.


Q: Light energy is absorbed by which kind of molecule?

 Choices:

- inorganic

- parasite

- nutrient

- chlorophyll

A:
chlorophyll
