Structure of Chlorophyll
Chlorophyll is the green pigment present in the chloroplast. The green color of the leaf is due to chlorophyll. It has a significant role in the photosynthesis process. Chlorophyll absorbs the sun’s rays and helps in photosynthesis. There are different types of photosynthetic pigments are present.
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is a complex and natural process, where green plants, algae, and certain bacteria convert sunlight (light energy), carbon dioxide, and water into glucose (chemical energy) and oxygen. Photosynthesis uses sunlight along with carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. The produced oxygen is released into the atmosphere while glucose is used as chemical energy by the plant. Photosynthesis, in short, is the process of food-making by the plants for their energy requirements.
