Botany, Biochemistry.
- : the green coloring matter of leaves and plants, essential to the production of carbohydrates by photosynthesis, and occurring in a bluish-black form, C55H72MgN4O5, and a dark-green form, C55H70MgN4O6.
Examples
The first was through ocean color satellites, which measured the amount of chlorophyll in the water.
For instance, leaves on a tree are green because chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light, reflecting green and yellow wavelengths back to your eye.
Just as in plants, these algae use chlorophyll to derive energy from the sun through photosynthesis.
Loss of the chlorophyll pigments responsible for photosynthesis is common in parasitic plants that rely on their hosts for sustenance.
Those membranes are filled with chlorophyll, a green pigment.
When the stalk is dried out, it is crushed to extract its green juice (the liquid is green because of chlorophyll in the plant).
In other words, Grew seems to have observed the characteristic fluorescence of chlorophyll.
The same leaves, now looking so dead, revive their chlorophyll, and become green in the spring.
The red rays are life to the chlorophyll-bearing plant, the violet rays are death.
The centrosomata grow independently and increase by cleavage, like the chromoplasts (chlorophyll particles, etc.).
As a rule, the ferruginous chlorophyll can only form new plasm with the help of light-waves.
