Researchers try to decode the quantum mechanics of chlorophyll, Nature’s near-perfect light harvester, to harness solar ...

The principal pigments are chlorophyll a and b - they mainly absorb light in the red and blue wavelengths of light. Plants also contain carotenoids (carotene and xanthophyll) which absorb light ...

Leaves change colors in autumn as chlorophyll production slows due to shorter days and cooler temperatures. As the green ...

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts found within cells. It is the chloroplasts that contain the green pigment chlorophyll which absorbs light. The plant uses this glucose to grow as well as make ...

Chlorophyll is a pigment that enables photosynthesis, the process of converting light into "food," or chemical energy. Plants produce chlorophyll a and b, while most marine algae and kelp produce ...
