Definitions

[Henderson's] n. principal light-capturing pig­ment of plants, algae and cyanobacteria, consisting of a porphyrin (tetrapyrrole) ring with a magnesium atom at the centre and esterified to a long-chain aliphatic alcohol (phytol), different chlorophylls having dif­ferent side chains. In plants and algae, chlorophyll is located in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. It absorbs light best in the red and violet-blue regions of the spectrum, chemically distinct chloro­phylls having different absorption maxima. Chlorophylls a and b are found in higher plants and green algae, chlorophyll a in cyanobacteria, chlorophylls c and d in algae. see also bacteriochlorophyll.
