I need help with these questions please Thank you so much W

What is chlorophyll? Where it found? How does it function? What are some other sources of beta-carotene? What are the health benefits of lycopene?

Solution

Chlorophyll is the green coloured photosynthetic pigment that can trap solar energy in plants.

This pigment molecule is found in the organelle, called chloroplasts in plant cells. Chloroplasts are green coloured plastids found in the green parts of plants such as leaves.

Chlorophyll traps the solar energy falling on the green leaves of plants. This energy is utilised by plants to manufacture their food from CO2 and H20 through the process of photosynthesis.
