Solar cars are cars that use the sun's energy for power.

太阳能汽车是以太阳能为动力的汽车。

They're able to transfer the sun's energy and create a chemical known as chlorophyll.

树叶能够转移太阳的能量，产生一种被称为叶绿素的化学物质。

These greenhouse gases trap the sun's energy in the atmosphere, warming the planet and altering the Earth's climate.

温室气体通过把太阳能量截获在大气层中，导致全球变暖和气候变化。

But plants, algae, and bacteria that photosynthesize are a lot better at capturing the sun's energy than we are.

但是进行光合作用的植物、藻类和细菌比我们更善于获取太阳能。

This building actually captures the sun's energy with that roof.

这座建筑实际上是通过屋顶吸收太阳能的。

To solve this problem the governments of Brazil and the U.S. joined forces to provide electricity by harnessing the sun's energy.

为了解决这个问题，巴西政府和美国政府联合起来，利用太阳能来提供电力。

This is actually really tricky because as the disassembly starts, the chlorophyll molecules that absorb sunlight for photosynthesis are still absorbing the sun's energy.

这过程非常困难，因为随着分解开始，叶绿素为了光合作用仍然在吸收太阳能。

Taking the sunlight in, and through a process known as photosynthesis they're able to transfer the sun's energy and create a chemical known as chlorophyll.

吸收阳光，通过光合作用的过程，它们能够转移太阳的能量并产生一种叫做叶绿素的化学物质。

And that's good because now, the real work is about to begin: using the sun's energy to cook up sugar from water and carbon dioxide.

这样是有益的，因为真正的工作才刚开始：利用太阳的能量将水和二氧化碳转化为糖类。

If you place it in a sunny place, you'll notice how it will pursue the sun's energy and grow towards it, overcoming any obstacles on its way.

如果你把它放在阳光充足的地方， 你会注意到它会如何追逐太阳的能量并朝着太阳的能量生长，克服途中的任何障碍。

What they're able to do is fascinating, they're taking the sunlight in and through a process known as photosynthesis, they're able to transfer the sun's energy and create a chemical known as chlorophyll.

它们所做的是很神奇的，主要通过光合作用吸收光线，将光能转化，并产生一种叫做叶绿素的化学物质。

Plants need light-absorbing molecules like chlorophyll to do just two things: 1) capture the sun's energy and 2) transfer that energy to other components of the leaf so they have fuel to make sugar.

植物需要吸收阳光的分子（如叶绿素）做两件事：1，捕捉太阳能；2，将能量转化为叶子的其他成分，这样它们就有能量去制造糖类。

When we lose that sea ice, we end up warming the ocean up there as well because of that ice being gone and all that sun's energy going instead into the ocean and warming it up.

当我们失去海冰时，我们最终也会使那里的海洋变暖，因为冰消失了，所有太阳能都进入海洋并使它变暖。
