Chlorophyll is NOT really a catalyst. The presence of chlorophyll in the absence of light does not catalyze photosynthesis. Chlorophyll plays a part in photosynthesis, it captures light energy.
Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight in photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll is a green pigment responsible for photosynthesis in plants, while pheophytin is a derivative of chlorophyll that lacks the magnesium ion found in chlorophyll. Pheophytin is formed when chlorophyll loses its magnesium ion, changing its color to olive-green or brown.
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplast, generally storage granules or vesicles does the nutrient storage function.
Variegated leaves have patches of green and white due to uneven distribution of chlorophyll. If a variegated leaf is tested by covering the green parts and exposing only the white parts to light, no photosynthesis occurs in the white areas since they lack chlorophyll. This demonstrates that chlorophyll is indeed necessary for photosynthesis to take place.
They are used to trap light energy for the process of photosynthesis

The cell wall provides rigidity to the cell and the chlorophyll enables the cell to manufacture glucose though photosynthesis
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, chlorophyll performs photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight in photosynthesis.

Chlorophyll is the pigment needed in order to undergo photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is what absorbs the light.
Chlorophyll is an essential factor for the process of Photosynthesizing. Without Chlorophyll, Photosynthesis cannot happen.

Chlorophyll is needed for Photosynthesis because it is the main ingredient. (sorry it is a bit vauge)
