Chlorophyll is a class of pigments that is important in photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, light energy is converted into chemical energy through the creation of organic compounds. Chlorophyll absorbs energy from light, and that energy is used to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates. It is found in nearly all photosynthetic organisms, including green plants, cyanobacteria, and algae.
