what is the central molecule of chlorophyll molecule and how does it help in transport? |
| Answer» Chlorophyll, any member of the most important class of pigments involved in photosynthesis, the process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy through the synthesis of organic compounds.\xa0Chlorophyll\xa0is found in virtually all photosynthetic organisms, including green plants, cyanobacteria, and algae.\xa0Chlorophyll is\xa0the\xa0molecule\xa0that absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to synthesise carbohydrates from CO2\xa0and water. This process\xa0is\xa0known as photosynthesis and\xa0is\xa0the basis for sustaining the life processes of all plants.\xa0In addition to giving plants their green color, chlorophyll is vital for\xa0photosynthesis\xa0as it helps to channel the\xa0energy\xa0of sunlight into chemical\xa0energy. With\xa0photosynthesis, chlorophyll absorbs\xa0energy\xa0and then transforms water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbohydrates. | |
