There are about 20 varieties of various liriope species in the commercial trade. âBig Blueâ, or some form thereof, is the main variety you find at garden centers, although it will frequently just be named green liriope. You can also buy variegated liriope.
Chlorophyll is the green pigments in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria that absorbs energy from light during photosynthesis. Its main function is to absorb light energy and pasâ¦s it onto the photosystems in order to generate the energy needed to continue photosynthesis.
Lesson Summary. In summary, photosynthesis is the process that converts energy from sunlight into food in plants and some protists and bacteria. Photosynthesis is essentially the reverse of cellular respiration, where our bodies convert food into usable energy. Photosynthesis is driven by the use of a pigment or molecule that absorbs a specific wavelength of energy.
