Explanation

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plant cells and is essential for photosynthesis

The process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy to produce sugars from carbon dioxide and water.

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, particularly in the blue and red regions of the visible spectrum,

While reflecting green light, giving leaves their characteristic green color.

This absorption of light energy by chlorophyll initiates the process of photosynthesis, allowing plants to produce their own food.
