Explanation:
Chlorophyll, the green pigment common to all photosynthetic cells, absorbs all wavelengths of visible light except green, which it reflects to be detected by our eyes.
All photosynthetic organisms (plants, certain protistans, prochlorobacteria, and cyanobacteria) have chlorophyll a. Chlorophyll a absorbs its energy from the Violet-Blue and Reddish orange-Red wavelengths, and little from the intermediate (Green-Yellow-Orange) wavelengths.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to prepare their food. This is a biogeochemical process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy. Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast.
