The Importance of Chlorophyll

The video explains why plants appear green, focusing on the role of chloroplasts and chlorophyll in plant cells. Chloroplasts are the food-making factories of plants, containing chlorophyll, which captures sunlight and gives leaves their green color. This process is essential for photosynthesis, where plants convert light energy into chemical energy.
