Chlorophyll A Usage And Synthesis |
Description | Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that allows them to create energy from light – to photosynthesize. Chlorophyll A and B are two major types of chlorophyll found in plants and green algae. Both are involved in the process photosynthesis. Both chlorophyll A and B are found in chloroplasts, associated with integral membrane proteins in the thylakoid membrane. The main difference between chlorophyll A and B is their role in photosynthesis? chlorophyll A is the principal pigment involved in the photosynthesis whereas chlorophyll B is the accessory pigment, collecting the energy in order to pass into chlorophyll A. In chlorophyll A, the most effectively absorbing wavelengths of the spectrum are 429 nm and 659 nm, which are responsible for violet-blue and orange-red colors, respectively. |
Chemical Properties | Waxy solid. Olive to dark green, depending on the amount of magnesium incorporated. Slightly smelly. The melting point of chlorophyll a is 150~153°C, and the melting point of chlorophyll b is 183~185°C. It coexists with the yellow carotene and lutein in the chloroplasts of plant leaves. Sensitive to light and heat, it can be saponified and hydrolyzed into bright green chlorophyllin (salt), phytol and methanol in dilute lye solution, and dark green to green-brown pheophytin in acid solution. Insoluble in water. Soluble in ethanol, ether, acetone and other fatty solvents. |
Occurrence | Chlorophyll A is found in all plants, algae and cyanobacteria. |
Uses | Chlorophyll A is a photosynthetic pigment that is essential for photosynthesis of eukaryotes and cyanobacteria, acting as a primary donor in the electron transport chain. Dyes and metabolites. |
Definition | Chlorophyll A is a form of chlorophyll that absorbs light in the violet to red spectrum (approximately 400-700 nm wavelength range) and reflects green light (500-570 nm wavelength), which imparts the characteristic green color to land plants. It is occurs in all photosynthetic organisms and is the major species in all of those that evolve oxygen. |
