What is the relationship between chlorophyll and the color of plants?

Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color. It absorbs light energy for photosynthesis, the process by which plants produce their own food. The presence of chlorophyll is what makes most plants appear green.


Where is the chlorophyll located inside of a cell?

In a plant cell, the chlorophyll is found in the mesophyll tissue, which contains the chloroplasts. Inside the chloroplasts are structures called thylakoids where the chlorophyll pigment is housed.


What is a difference between chlorophyll A and chlorophyll B?

The structural difference between chlorophyll 'a' and chlorophyll 'b' is this that the functional group bonded to the porphyrin is methyl group (-CH3) in chlorophyll 'a' and carbonyl group (-CHO) in chlorophyll 'b'.


Is chlorophyll in blue bacteria found in chloroplasts?

No, blue-green bacteria do not have chloroplasts. Instead, they contain specialized structures called thylakoids where the photosynthetic pigments, including chlorophyll, are located. These thylakoids are involved in the process of photosynthesis in blue-green bacteria.


What are the organelles that contain chlorophyll in a leaf?

Chloroplasts are the organelles that contain chlorophyll in a leaf. These specialized structures are responsible for photosynthesis, where they capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy to produce glucose. The green color of leaves is due to the presence of chlorophyll within the chloroplasts.
