what is chlorophyll and what does it do
Chlorophyll is a green pigment (one of several photosynthetic pigments) that plays a crucial role in producing food for green plants by synthesizing simple sugars (glucose) from carbon dioxide and water in the process of photosynthesis. The by-product of photosynthesis is free oxygen.
Chlorophyll is a green pigment that gives most plants their color.The reason that it is green is because it absorbs other colors of light such as red and blue, so in a way the green light is reflected out since the pigment does not absorb it.
