  • Chlorophyll a contains a magnesium ion encased in a large ring structure known as a chlorin.
  • The chlorin ring is a heterocyclic compound derived from pyrrole. Four nitrogen atoms from the chlorin surround and bind the magnesium atom.
  • The magnesium center uniquely defines the structure as a chlorophyll molecule.

Chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis, which allows plants to absorb energy from light.

  • Chlorophyll molecules are arranged in and around photosystems that are embedded in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
  • In these complexes, chlorophyll serves three functions.

Chlorophyll a is a specific form of chlorophyll used in oxygenic photosynthesis.

  • It absorbs most energy from wavelengths of violet-blue and orange-red light.
  • It also reflects green-yellow light, and as such contributes to the observed green color of most plants.

Explanation:

The colour of the chlorophyll is GREEN COLOUR.
