1. Chlorophyll

   Chlorophyll (also chlorophyl) is any of several related green pigments found in cyanobacteria and in the chloroplasts of algae and plants. Its name is derived from the Greek words χλωρός, khloros ("pale green") and φύλλον, phyllon ("leaf"). Chlorophyll allow plants to absorb energy from light. Chlorophylls absorb light most strongly in the blue portion of the electromagnetic spectrum as well as the red portion. Conversely, it is a poor absorber of green and near-green portions of the spectrum. Hence chlorophyll-containing tissues appear green because green light, diffusively reflected by structures like cell walls, is less absorbed. Two types of chlorophyll exist in the photosystems of green plants: chlorophyll a and b.

1. chlorophyll

   Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in cyanobacteria and the chloroplasts of algae and plants. Its name is derived from the Greek words chloros ("green") and phyllon ("leaf"). Chlorophyll is an extremely important biomolecule, critical in photosynthesis, which allows plants to absorb energy from light. It captures the light energy and utilises it to produce carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water. It is composed of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and magnesium atoms. There are a few different types of chlorophyll including chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b and chlorophyll-c, each playing a unique role in the photosynthesis process.

1. Chlorophyllnoun

   literally, leaf green; a green granular matter formed in the cells of the leaves (and other parts exposed to light) of plants, to which they owe their green color, and through which all ordinary assimilation of plant food takes place.

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. However, it is a poor absorber of green and near-green portions of the spectrum, hence the green color of chlorophyll-containing tissues. Chlorophyll was first isolated by Joseph Bienaimé Caventou and Pierre Joseph Pelletier in 1817. ⁕ Chlorophyll gives leaves their green color and absorbs light that is used in photosynthesis. ⁕ Chlorophyll is found in high concentrations in chloroplasts of plant cells. ⁕ Absorption maxima of chlorophylls against the spectrum of white light. ⁕ SeaWiFS-derived average sea surface chlorophyll for the period 1998 to 2006.

   An El Nio or La Nia event will throw up a very large change in chlorophyll because its changing the amount of nutrients that are coming into the system, because of these big, natural changes that happen every few years, its hard to see if things are changing due to climate change, if youre just looking at chlorophyll.
