This, as well as various other chemicals absorbed through the roots, is then used as raw materials in the manufacture of all the substances which form a plant. For photosynthesis to take place, sunlight energy is required. This energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in the plant. This is a found in small green pigments in the leaf called chloroplasts.
