Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -There are many different types of pigments in nature, but chlorophyll is unique in its ability to enable plants to absorb the energy they need to build tissues. 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: -Chlorophyll is present in the thylakoids.
Detailed explanation-3: -Chlorophyll a is the core pigment that absorbs sunlight for light dependent photosynthesis. Accessory pigments such as: cholorphyll b, carotenoids, xanthophylls and anthocyanins lend a hand to chlorophyll a molecules by absorbing a broader spectrum of light waves.
