The function of the reaction center chlorophyll is to use the energy absorbed by and transferred to it from the other chlorophyll pigments in the photosystems to undergo a charge separation , a specific redox reaction in which the chlorophyll donates an electron into a series of molecular intermediates called an electron transport chain .
