Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color, and it helps plants create their own food through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -What makes a leaf green is chlorophyll, the green pigment located within the chloroplasts. More specifically, chlorophyll resides in the thylakoid membranes. The chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight, and it is this energy that drives the synthesis of food molecules in the chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-3: -The set of wavelengths absorbed by a pigment is its absorption spectrum. In the diagram below, you can see the absorption spectra of three key pigments in photosynthesis: chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and -carotene.
