Required for life as we know it to exist, chlorophyll is the deep, dark green pigment found in plants. In a process called photosynthesis, chlorophyll converts light energy from the sun into chemical energy, while releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. The energy is then stored in the plant as carbohydrates and used by animals and humans when eaten. This is the means by which energy enters the food chain. |
