Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorophyll is located in a plant’s chloroplasts, which are tiny structures in a plant’s cells. This is where photosynthesis takes place.

Detailed explanation-2: -The chlorophylls, a and b, are the pigments of photosynthesis. They are produced in chloroplasts in the photosynthetic tissues of the leaf. The chlorophyll molecules are very water repelling, partly because of the long phytol tail in the molecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -1 Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll or leaf green is a porphyrin derivative with magnesium as the central atom and is hence a metal complex dye. It is present in the chloroplasts in all green parts of plants as a mixture of blue green chlorophyll a and yellow green chlorophyll b, and constitutes the catalyst for photosynthesis.
