- Any of a group of green pigments found in photosynthetic organisms; there are four naturally occurring forms
- 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 u03C7u03BBu03C9u03C1u03CCu03C2, chloros ("green") and u03C6u03CDu03BBu03BBu03BFu03BD, phyllon ("leaf"). Chlorophyll is an extremely important biomolecule, critical in photosynthesis, which allows plants to absorb energy from light...
- (Chlorophylls) green pigments, are usually present in much greater quantities than others. In autumn chlorophyll production slows as the days get shorter and cooler. As the remaining chlorophyll breaks down and fades, the colours of other pigments are revealed. ...
- The green pigment in plants that absorbs solar energy.
- A chemical mixture or compound found in the chloroplasts of plant cells and gives plants their green color. Plants use chlorophyll to convert the energy of sunlight to food in the process known as photosynthesis.
- A substance called a pigment that all plants contain that allows the plant to capture light energy; this pigment makes plants appear green
- The pigment in plants, algae, and phytoplankton that becomes activated by solar energy during photosynthesis. It transfers light energy to electrons.
- A family of pigments used in photosynthesis to trap radiant energy. Normally located with chloroplasts. Chloroplasts with chlorophyll b have a bright green colour, those with chlorophylls a and c are off-green or yellow.
- The green pigment in leaves. When present and healthy usually dominates all other pigments.
