Chlorophyll

A green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and some bacteria, crucial for photosynthesis as it absorbs light energy to produce sugar.

Absorption Peak

The wavelength or region of the electromagnetic spectrum where a substance absorbs the most light, often used in spectroscopy for identification.

Thylakoid Membranes

Membrane-bound compartments inside chloroplasts and cyanobacteria, site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
