Photosynthesis
Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in almost all plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. Chlorophyll is an extremely important biomolecule, critical in photosynthesis, which allows plants to absorb energy from light. Chlorophyll absorbs light most strongly in the blue portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, followed by the red portion
What happens inside the chloroplast:
begin with 6CO2+6H2O+light
ends up with C6H12O6+6O2
essentially 6CO2+6H2O+light-----> C6H12O6+6O2
only located in plant cells
