The green coloring matter of plants.


A green, photosynthetic substance found in plants.


The green pigment in plant cells that facilitates photosynthesis.


A green pigment found in plant cells, which harnesses the sun’s energy by complex chemical reactions.


A heterocyclic iron/copper-containing green pigment in plants.


Pigment of green plants that absorbs light and converts it into energy for the synthesis of carbohydrates.


One of a group of green pigments, found in all green plants and some bacteria, that absorb light to provide energy for the synthesis of carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water (photosynthesis). The two major chlorophylls, a and b, consist of a porphyrin/magnesium complex.
