Any of a group of green pigments that are found in the chloroplasts of plants and in other photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria, especially: # A waxy blue-black microcrystalline green-plant pigment, C55H72MgN4O5, with a characteristic blue-green alcohol solution. Also called chlorophyll a. # A similar green-plant pigment, C55H70MgN4O6, having a brilliant green alcohol solution. Also called chlorophyll b. (source, Answers.com)

What is the purpose for cholorphyll?

Chlorophyll is a pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight energy during photosynthesis. It helps convert this energy into chemical energy, which is used by the plant to produce glucose and oxygen. In this process, chlorophyll also gives plants their green color.


Does the hill reaction involve cyclic or non-cyclic phosphorylation?

It involves cyclic phosphorylation because electrons are continously recycled. The electrons lost by cholorphyll molecules are gained by DCPIP and vice versa. Thus, the hill reaction only involves cyclic phosphorylation, unless the electrons are lost to the surrounding environment.
