Chlorophyll (Cat No.: M048190) is a green pigment found in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, essential for photosynthesis, the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy. The molecule contains a porphyrin ring with a central magnesium ion, allowing it to absorb light, primarily in the blue and red wavelengths, while reflecting green. There are several types, including chlorophyll a and b, with slight structural variations. Chlorophyll plays a critical role in energy capture, oxygen production, and carbon fixation in the global ecosystem.
