Why Is Chlorophyll Essential for Photosynthesis and Energy Production?

Chlorophyll is really important for photosynthesis, which is how plants make their food. But it has some big challenges:

  • Light Absorption: Chlorophyll can only soak up certain types of light. When there isn’t enough light, photosynthesis slows down a lot.

  • Energy Conversion: Changing light energy into chemical energy is a tough process and doesn't always work well.

To help with these problems, using artificial lights in controlled spaces can really boost how well photosynthesis works.
