Chlorophyll.

Chlorophyll is the pigment which makes plants look green. It is kept inside the chloroplasts of plant cells. When sunlight falls on a chlorophyll molecule, the energy is absorbed. The chlorophyll molecule then releases the energy. The energy makes carbon dioxide combine with water, with the help of enzymes inside the chloroplast. The glucose that is made contains energy that was originally in the sunlight. So, in this process, light energy is converted to chemical energy.
