what is chlorophyll used for
Chlorophyll (also chlorophyl) is a term used for several closely related green pigments found in cyanobacteria and the chloroplasts of algae and plants.Its name is derived from the Greek words ÏÎ»ÏÏÏÏ, chloros (green) and ÏÏÎ»Î»Î¿Î½, phyllon (leaf).n these complexes, chlorophyll serves two primary functions. The function of the vast majority of chlorophyll (up to several hundred molecules per photosystem) is to absorb light and transfer that light energy by resonance energy transfer to a specific chlorophyll pair in the reaction center of the photosystems.
