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.
Concept 7: Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll molecules embedded in the thylakoid membrane absorb light energy. These molecules are the most important pigments for absorbing the light energy used in photosynthesis. A chlorophyll molecule has a hydrophobic tail that embeds the molecule into the thylakoid membrane. The head of a chlorophyll molecule is a ring called a porphyrin. The porphyrin ring of chlorophyll, which has a magnesium atom at its center, is the part of a chlorophyll molecule that absorbs light energy.
