The two kinds of chlorophyll in plants complement each other in absorbing sunlight. Plants are able to satisfy their energy requirements by absorbing light from the blue and red parts of the spectrum. However, there is still a large spectral region between 500 and 600 nm where chlorophyll absorbs very little light, and plants appear green because this light is reflected.
The plant's green pigment does not just provide color, it serves a vital function. Green plants efficiently use solar energy to make food. The food substance is in the form of sugars, starch, fat, protein and vitamins. The green pigment in plants, called chlorophyll, is what enables the plant to absorb the sun's rays or light energy, which is then converted to chemical energy.
