Chloroplasts contain these green pigments..yes chlorophyll, they absorb light energy for the reaction of photosynthesis to occur. This sustains & supports life on earth.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is important to living organisms because it is the number one source of oxygen in the atmosphere. ... Green plants and trees use photosynthesis to make food from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water in the atmosphere. So all in all, photosynthesis is important to both plants and other organisms which depend on it (including us).
Chloroplasts are plant cell organelles that convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process. By doing so, they sustain life on Earth. Chloroplasts also provide diverse metabolic activities for plant cells, including the synthesis of fatty acids, membrane lipids, isoprenoids, tetrapyrroles, starch, and hormones.
I think its because so the plants can absorb more nutrients from the soil while being sturdy and wide so when the plant gets snowed on it doesn't break<span />
