chlorophyll perform only one work it does photolysis and break H2O other work is done by enzymes like RUBISCO enzymes .
chlorophyll absorb all wavelengths of light except green and breakdown H2O into H2 and O2
chlorophyll absorb all wavelengths of light except green and breakdown H2O into H2 and O2

Hi,
=======:
Here is your answer,
=======:
The absorption of light energy and its conversion into chemical energy occurs in multiprotein complexes, called photosystems, located in the thylakoid membrane. A photosystem has two closely linked components, an antenna containing light-absorbing pigments and a reaction center comprising a complex of proteins and two chlorophyll a molecules. Each antenna (named by analogy with radio antennas) contains one or more light-harvesting complexes (LHCs). The energy of the light captured by LHCs is funneled to the two chlorophylls in the reaction center, where the primary events of photosynthesis occur.
Found in all photosynthetic organisms, both eukaryotic and prokaryotic, chlorophyll a is the principal pigment involved in photosynthesis, being present in both antennas and reaction centers. In addition to chlorophyll a, antennas contain other light-absorbing pigments: chlorophyll b in vascular plants, and carotenoids in both plants and photosynthetic bacteria (Figure 16-36). The presence of various antenna pigments, which absorb light at different wavelengths, greatly extends the range of light that can be absorbed and used for photosynthesis.
