FACTS
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that produce energy by a process called photosynthesis. It absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to synthesize carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water. This process is called photosynthesis and is the basis for sustaining the life processes of all plants.

The actual chemical equation which takes place is the reaction between carbon dioxide and water, catalyzed by sunlight, to produce glucose and a waste product, oxygen. The glucose sugar is either directly used as an energy source by the plant for metabolism or growth, or is polymerized to form starch, so it can be stored until needed. The waste oxygen is excreted into the atmosphere, where it is made use of by plants and animals for respiration.




Chemically, the chlorophyll structure is similar to the heme molecule in  haemoglobin, the substance found in red blood cells that carry oxygen to all the cells in the body, except that is central atom is magnesium, whereas in the human blood is iron. It is believe to be useful in cleansing the blood of impurities.
