What is Chlorophyll?

Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in the

chloroplasts of higher plants and in the cells of
photosynthetic microorganisms (e.g. cyanobacteria),
which is primarily involved in absorbing light energy
for photosynthesis.

Is chlorophyll important for photosynthesis?

Yes, according to many resources, Chlorophyll a is a
pigment that is involved in the process of
photosynthesis. This pigment is essential for capturing
the energy from the sun that is necessary for
photosynthesis to occur. Plants that are lacking in
chlorophyll a will not be able to perform
photosynthesis and will not be able to produce the
food that they need to survive. Chlorophyll is a key
component in the process of photosynthesis, which
sustains plant life and produces oxygen for the entire
planet.
Where is chlorophyll located and usually
found?
Chlorophyll is located in the plants chloroplasts, which
are tiny structures in the plants cells. This is where
photosynthesis takes place. You can find chlorophyll
in many plants. It is most commonly found in algae.
