Do you what is chlorophyll ? chlorophyll is a small pigment which gives colour a leaf

• Light Absorption: Chlorophyll, the green pigment in chloroplasts, absorbs sunlight, primarily in the blue and red wavelengths.

• Water Splitting: The absorbed light energy is used to split water molecules (H₂O) into oxygen (O₂),, This occurs in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts.

• Chlorophyll is the main pigment in plant leaves and is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants make their food.

• It absorbs light energy from the sun, especially in the blue and red parts of the light spectrum, which are most effective for photosynthesis.

  
  

• , chlorophyll does not absorb green light well, so it reflects it instead — and that's why leaves appear green to our eyes.

• There are different types of chlorophyll (like chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b), both of which contribute to this green colour.

  
  

• Other pigments like carotenoids (yellow/orange) are present too, but chlorophyll is so abundant that it masks them — until autumn, when chlorophyll breaks down and the other colours show through.
