Important Points

The correct answer is Chlorophyll.

Key Points

• Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color, and it helps plants create their own food through Photosynthesis.
• There are many different types of pigments in nature, but chlorophyll is unique in its ability to enable plants to absorb the energy they need to build tissues.
• Chlorophyll is located in a plant’s chloroplast which are tiny structures in a plant’s cells, where photosynthesis takes place.
• Chlorophyll’s job in a plant is to absorb light—usually sunlight. The plant uses the stored energy to convert carbon dioxide (absorbed from the air) and water into glucose, a type of sugar.
• Plant uses glucose together with nutrients taken from the soil to make new leaves and other plant parts.
• The process of photosynthesis produces oxygen, which is released by the plant into the air.
• Chlorophyll gives plants their green color because it does not absorb the green wavelengths of white light. That particular light wavelength is reflected from the plant, so it appears green.

The correct answer is the Atacama Desert.

To the west, the upwelling of cold water from deep in the Pacific Ocean promotes atmospheric conditions that hamper the evaporation of seawater and prevent the formation of clouds and rain.
• Temperature is comparatively mild throughout the year.
• The average temperature in the desert is about 18 degrees C.
