Answer:

But if the plants are exposed to too much sun, these molecules absorb more energy than they can handle and generate reactive species of oxygen that can destroy the plant. ... The positively charged zeaxanthin then combines with the negatively charged chlorophyll in a reaction that disperses away excess energy as heat

Answer: -

The Answer is Yes

Chlorophyll is highly sensitive to light, so too much light may destroy it. However, the formation of chlorophyll itself depends on the exposure of the plant to light. The grass growing in the shade under a stone turns yellowish due to the non-formation of new chlorophyll and due to the disintegration of the older one in the absence of light.

Thank you
