stayAcidic environmentMedium,porphyrinThe magnesium in the ring can be replaced by H, calledMagnesium free chlorophyllIt is brown. When copper or zinc is used to replace H, its color turns green again. This pigment is stable, does not fade under light, and is not damaged by acid. It is soakedPlant specimenThis feature is used to save.

1. Chlorophylls a and b can absorb light energy.But only a few chlorophyll a in the excited state can convert light energy into electric energy
2. Some chlorophyll a andChlorophyll bThe ratio of% to% reflects how much light energy is used by plants.
such asHeliophyteThe ratio of chlorophyll a to chlorophyll b is large, whileShade plantThe ratio of chlorophyll a to chlorophyll b is small.
