The pigments responsible for absorbing light energy in photosynthesis are called [[1]].

Chloroplasts contain pigments called chlorophyll, which absorb light energy and use it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and other photosynthetic organisms that carry out photosynthesis, the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose. They have a double-membrane structure, a central stroma, and thylakoid membranes stacked in grana. Chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing light energy, is located in the thylakoids.
