Definitions:

Chlorophyll

A green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and some bacteria, which is crucial for photosynthesis as it absorbs light most efficiently and uses the energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Cyclic Electron Pathway

A photosynthetic process in plants and some bacteria where electrons are recycled allowing for the production of ATP without the production of NADPH or oxygen.

Photosynthetic Pigment

Molecules that absorb specific wavelengths of sunlight and use this energy to carry out photosynthesis in plants and algae.

Visible Wavelengths

The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye, ranging approximately from 380 to 750 nanometers.
