Хлорофіл b is a type of chlorophyll found in plants, algae, and some bacteria. It plays a crucial role in photosynthesis by absorbing light energy, primarily in the blue and red wavelengths. This energy is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, providing energy for the plant. Unlike хлорофіл a, which is the primary pigment in photosynthesis, хлорофіл b assists in capturing light energy and transferring it to хлорофіл a. This allows plants to utilize a broader spectrum of sunlight, enhancing their ability to produce food and grow efficiently.
