Answers
green pigment is chlorophyll.
⭐Chlorophyll is the pigments which trap the solar radiation for the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis. It is not soluble in water, because of the presence of a hydrophobic tail. It is soluble in organic solvents like acetone.
the role of chlorophyll in the photosynthesis:
✍Chlorophyll assists this transfer as when chlorophyll absorbs light energy, an electron in chlorophyll is excited from a lower energy state to a higher energy state.
✍Thus, chlorophyll is at the centre of the photosynthetic oxidation-reduction reaction between carbon dioxide and water.
✍These reactions use photolysis or the use of light energy to split water molecules and produce oxygen.
✍In these light-dependent reactions, light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments and transferred to the reaction centre of photosystem II.
