Chlorophyll is any of several related green
pigments found in the mesosomes of
cyanobacteria, as well as in the
chloroplasts of algae. Chlorophyll is
essential in photosynthesis, allowing
plants to absorb energy from light.
Chlorophylls absorb light most strongly in
the blue portion of the electromagnetic
spectrum as well as the red portion.
Conversely, it is a poor absorber of green
and near-green portions of the spectrum,
which it reflects, producing the green
color of chlorophyll-containing tissues.
Two types of chlorophyll exist in the
photosystems of green plants: chlorophyll
a and b.
