Chlorophyll is responsible for the green color of plants, reflecting its role in photosynthesis.
In photosynthesis, chlorophyll captures sunlight and converts it into chemical energy for the synthesis of glucose.
Algae and cyanobacteria also contain chlorophyll, allowing them to carry out oxygenic photosynthesis.
The study of chlorophyll and its variants contributes to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind photosynthesis.
During autumn, chlorophyll breaks down in deciduous plants, revealing other pigments and causing leaves to change color.
