  1. any of a group of green pigments found in photosynthetic organisms; there are four naturally occurring forms
  2. Chlorophyll (also chlorophyl) is a green pigment found in almost all plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. Its name is derived from the Greek χλωρός (chloros "green") and φύλλον (phyllon "leaf"). ...
  3. (Chlorophylls) green pigments, are usually present in much greater quantities than others. In autumn chlorophyll production slows as the days get shorter and cooler. As the remaining chlorophyll breaks down and fades, the colours of other pigments are revealed. ...
  4. The green pigment in plants that absorbs solar energy.
  5. A chemical mixture or compound found in the chloroplasts of plant cells and gives plants their green color. Plants use chlorophyll to convert the energy of sunlight to food in the process known as photosynthesis.
  6. a substance called a pigment that all plants contain that allows the plant to capture light energy; this pigment makes plants appear green
  7. the pigment in plants, algae, and phytoplankton that becomes activated by solar energy during photosynthesis. It transfers light energy to electrons.
  8. A family of pigments used in photosynthesis to trap radiant energy. Normally located with chloroplasts. Chloroplasts with chlorophyll b have a bright green colour, those with chlorophylls a and c are off-green or yellow.
  9. The green pigment in leaves. When present and healthy usually dominates all other pigments.
  10. Greenish plant substance produced by phytoplankton, which forms the nutrient base of the ocean ecosystem.
  11. The green matter in plants, is found abundantly in nature. Through a chemical process called photosynthesis, chlorophyll harnesses the sun's energy in order to perform various metabolic functions. In 1913, Dr. ...
  12. the green material in plants that is created in the presence of light and is instrumental in photosynthesis.
  13. Green pigments found in plants, which are essential for photosynthesis.
  14. Known for its natural cleansing and moisturizing properties, it is the green coloring substance in plants.
  15. Green pigment in plants. Contains nitrogen and magnesium, as well as carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. An essential catalyst in the production of carbohydrates using energy captured from light through photosynthesis.
  16. This green pigment dominates the plant kingdom. It is used as a natural colorant and deodorizer in personal care products.
  17. the green pigment of plant cells, which is the receptor of light energy in photosynthesis
  18. (Gr. chloros, green + phyllon, leaf)  One of the two pigments responsible for the green colour of most plants. It is essential in the absorption of light energy for photosynthesis.
  19. A green photosynthetic pigment that is made of a magnesium dihydroporphyrin complex.
  20. Chemicals in the green parts of plants required for the formation of food. See Photosynthesis.
  21. The green pigment in foliage. A group of molecules used to convert light to energy.
  22. green pigment contained in the leaves of plants.
