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.
Photosynthetic light absorption involves plantsâ use of pigments to facilitate the conversion of light energy into chemical energy. Photosynthesis occurs in green plants, algae, and certain types of bacteria. There is considerable variation among the types of pigments found in these different groups of organisms, but the basic mechanisms by which they absorb light are similar. Photosynthetic pigments are always attached to membranes within a cell.
