What is the function of chorophll in plants?

Chlorophyll is a green coloured pigment which gives the plants green colour....it is present in each and every cell of green plant... it's exact location is inside plastids (chloroplasts)....it is an essential part for the synthesis of food of a plant i.e., photosynthesis..........


How many reactions are there in photosynthesis?

1. First the chlorophyll (the chemical that makes plants leaves green and traps sunlight) traps the sunlight in the leaves. (The sunlight provides energy for the plants.)2. Next the sunlight gives the plant energy to start the food-making process.3. Then the roots suck nutrients up to the leaves and then the leaves mix carbon dioxide, the nutrients and water to make their food. (sugar)4. Finally they throw out their waste (oxygen).Carbon dioxide and water are two of the three products needed for photosynthesis. After the plant obtains water from the soil,the water molecules go into the root cells, and through the vascular tissue and through the stem, and to the leaves. The carbon dioxide is obtained from the air. Air passes through the stomata and into the air spaces of the kinda spongy mesophyll cells. The plant then uses the energy from the sun to split the water into hydrogen and oxygen; the oxygen is then released into the air, while the hydrogen is used to make a special compounds called ATP and NADPH. Through a subsequent series of steps (that just happen to not require light), hydrogen atoms from NADPH are combined with carbon dioxide from the air to produce glucose a simple sugar. The energy required to synthesize glucose is supplied by breaking down the ATP that was produced earlier.1. Sunlight is absorbed by the chorophll which is a chemical in the choroplasts.2. The light energy is then converted to chemical energy.3. this energy is then used to split water molecules from the soil into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxgyen is then given away as a gas and the hydrogen becomes part of the glucose that the plant produces!
