Chlorophyll


·       Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants.

·       Chlorophyll is essential in photosynthesis, allowing plants to absorb energy from light.

·       Besides plants, chlorophyll is found in all photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria and in the chloroplasts of algae. 

·       Two types of chlorophyll, chlorophyll a and b commonly exist in the photosystems of green plants.

·       Chlorophyll c is found in certain marine algae and Chlorophyll d is found in certain species of cyanobacteria. Even rarer is Chlorophyll e found only in some golden algae.

·       Chlorophyll was first isolated and named by Joseph Bienaime Caventou and Pierre Joseph Pelletier in 1817.

 

Photosynthesis

·       Photosynthesis is the process through which the food is prepared by the plant from chlorophyll, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) in the presence of sunlight.

·       The chemical involve in the photosynthesis is –

                                    6CO2 + 12H2O     →    C6H12O6+6H2O+6O2

·       Photosynthesis occurs in Chloroplast of plants and it done by Chlorophyll pigment.

·        Magnesium is found in the chlorophyll of plant leave and in the nucleus of the chlorophyll on atom of the magnesium exists.

·       The chemical substance chloroplast is called the nucleus of the photosynthesis.
