A simple Amish schoolhouse in Ashland County, Ohio. The small structure on the right is an outhouse. The teacher typically handles all eight grades, or sometimes a school may be divided in two, with one class for grades 1-4 and a second for grades 5-8. The teacher may may have an assistant to help her.
Chlorophyll absorbs certain wavelengths of light within the visible light spectrum. As shown in detail in the absorption spectra, chlorophyll absorbs light in the red (long wavelength) and the blue (short wavelength) regions of the visible light spectrum.Green light is not absorbed but reflected, making the plant appear green. Chlorophyll is found in the chloroplasts of plants.There are various types of chlorophyll structures, but plants contain chlorophyll a and b. These two types of chlorophyll differ only slightly, in the composition of a single side chain.reen light is not absorbed but reflected, making the plant appear green.

All plants have chlorophyll, which is a green pigment in leaves and stems. Chlorophyll is a light-absorbing pigment, and it actually gets its green color because it absorbs blue and red wavelengths of light.The green wavelengths are reflected, giving that unmistakable color to plants.Since it is a light-absorbing pigment, chlorophyll is called a photoreceptor.hen light energy is passed by chlorophyll molecules to the center of photosystem II (the first photosystem in the chain), it energizes a central chlorophyll molecule called P680. This molecule is so energized that it is passed along another chain to photosystem I.
