Chlorophyll A takes in light energy that will be converted to chemical energy as glucose and then ATP and then to be used and lost as heat energy. The chlorophyll takes in any color of the rainbow except the green and reflects it back to us to see.
Actually Chlorophyll a absorbs more red light than other colors, hence its other name, p680 meaning it absorbs red light with a 680 nanometer wavelength. Just to clarify for you, chlorophyll a doesn't magically do all that is listed above, it actually is part of photosystem II, the first stage in many to complete photosynthesis. There is much more to photosynthesis than just a single molecule, but that isn't the question, I just wanted to make it clear.

Which is more polar- chlorophyll a or b?
Chlorophyll a
What masked by green pigments in the spring and summer?
chlorophyll
What is the primary pigment in photosynthesis?
The primary photosynthetic pigment that is found in plants is Chlorophyll A. Chlorophyll A is responsible for giving the plants a green appearance.
Why is chlorophyll a also called chlorophyll 680?
Because Chlorophyll 680 is Chlorophyll a's most sufficient wave length
How Many Vowels Are In The Word Chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll--There are three vowels in the word chlorophyll.
What are some examples of chlorophyll?
Some examples of chlorophyll are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, chlorophyll c1, and chlorophyll c2. These are the most common types of chlorophyll found in plants and algae. Chlorophyll gives plants their green color and is essential for photosynthesis.

the chlorophyll A and chlorophyll B
What type of chlorophyll does a reaction contain?
chlorophyll a Chlorophyll A

What is the name of the green pigment in a leaf?
The green pigment present in the leaf cell of a plant is called 'chlorophyll'.
What is the difference in the different types of chlorophyll?
There are chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. in chlorophyll a there is more energy required than in chlorophyll b. chlorophyll a have an absorption peak at 700 nm in contrast to the 680nm of chlorophyll b. chlorophyll a creates a more greener pigment whereas the chlorophyll b has a more yellow appearance of leaves in the fall. there are also other pigments like carotenes which produce the red in autumn.
What roll does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis and where is chlorophyll found?
Chlorophyll is found inside the leaves. Chlorophyll captures the sun's rays and converts them to food.
