What are Chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is the pigment that gives plants its green color. It is crucial for plant survival because it is the agent for photosynthesis. The molecular composition of chlorophyll is identical to the human blood cell, so it is often referred to as "green blood." In human blood, the nucleus of its molecule is iron, while in chlorophyll the nucleus is magnesium.
