- Chlorophyll is responsible for absorbing solar energy and converting it to chemical energy.
- Not all of the sun's light energy is absorbed. Sunlight is coloured in a variety of ways.
- Normally, chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light from the sun while reflecting green light.
- Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria contain chlorophyll, a green photosynthetic pigment.
- Chlorophyll absorbs mostly in the blue and, to a lesser extent, the red regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, resulting in its bright green hue.
- In producers, a green substance traps light energy from the sun, which is then used to combine carbon dioxide and water into sugars in the photosynthesis process.
- Photosynthesis, which helps plants get energy from light, requires chlorophyll.
- Chlorophyll molecules are organized in and around photosystems, which are pigment protein complexes embedded in chloroplast thylakoid membranes.
