Chlorophyll is the substance that makes plants appear green. This is because it reflects green light and absorbs light in the red and blue spectrums.

Chlorophyll is contained in organelles called chloroplasts and is responsible for converting light energy, carbon dioxide and water into simple sugars and oxygen - through the process of photosynthesis
