Question

what is the work of chlorophyll in green plants

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Chlorophyllis a green pigment in plants, algae and cyanobacteria that helps convert the energy from sunlight into the chemical bonds in molecules during photosynthesis. The main function of chlorophyll is making sugars and oxygen. During the process of photosynthesis, chlorophyll transforms the energy from photons into energy moleculescalled ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The ATP is then used in the Calvin cycle to make sugars. At the same time, photosynthesis generates oxygen as a byproduct which the plant can use in its own cellular respiration or release into the atmosphere.
