Chlorophyll-a
The photosynthetic pigment found in most algae. Chlorophyll-a is used to measure the rate of photosynthesis in a body of water.

chlorophyll : A chemical mixture or compound found in the chloroplasts of plant cells and gives plants their green color. Plants use chlorophyll to convert the energy of sunlight to food in the process known as photosynthesis.
chlorophyll The green photosynthetic coloring matter of plants found in chloroplasts and made up chiefly of a blue-black ester and a dark green ester.
chloroplast A plastid containing chlorophyll.
LIGHT REACTIONS - CHLOROPHYLL
Chlorophyll, the green pigment responsible for capturing light, is found within the chloroplasts arranged in discrete patterns on a membrane system.
Fungus (Fungi) Molds, mildews, yeasts, mushrooms and puffballs; a group of organisms that are lacking in chlorophyll and usually non-mobile, filamentous and multicellular. Back to top ^

Chlorophyll Green pigment(s) found in almost all plants and playing a crucial role in the capture of radiant energy in the process of photosynthesis. Chloroplast The inclusions (plastids) within plant cells which contain chlorophyll.
the process during which green plants use chlorophyll, sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create water, oxygen, and carbohydrates such as starches, sugars, and waxes. Photosynthesis is the primary source of energy in the global ecosystem.
chlorophyll Green pigment found in plant cells. conservation Not wasting, and renewing when possible, the human and natural resources of the world. contaminate To pollute something, or make it dirty.
It contains chlorophyll and functions in photosynthesis and protein synthesis. clear cutting A forest-management technique that involves harvesting all the trees in one area at one time.
Algae A cluster of primitive, mainly aquatic plants that have chlorophyll-a as their primary photosynthetic pigment. Algae Biodiesel An alternative fuel derived from cultivated algae.
Microscopic plants which contain chlorophyll and live floating or suspended in water. They also may be attached to structures, rocks or other submerged surfaces. They are food for fish and small aquatic animals.
Except in Cyanophyta (blue-green algae), chlorophyll is confined to chloroplasts. There are several types of chlorophyll, but all contain magnesium and iron.
Green plants, with chlorophyll, utilize the sun's energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into the plant biomass while oxygen that is released into the atmosphere. [Science News; v146; 23; 1994.] [Quarterly Review of Biology; v69; 294-295; 1994.
A group of organisms lacking in chlorophyll (i.e., are not photosynthetic) and which are usually non-mobile, filamentous, and multicellular. Some grow in soil, others attach themselves to decaying trees and other plants which they obtain nutrients.
Fungi: A group of organisms that lack chlorophyll, including molds, mildews, yeasts, mushrooms. They receive their nutrition from decomposing organic matter. Some cause disease in humans.
The allophytic plants that lack chlorophyll and are filamentous in structure; molds.
furrow irrigation
See irrigation methods.
Photosynthesis: The manufacture by plants of carbohydrates and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll, using sunlight as an energy source.
The process of conversion of water and carbon dioxide to carbohydrates. It takes place in the presence of chlorophyll and is activated by sunlight. During the process oxygen is released.
(Singular: Fungus) Molds, mildews, yeasts, mushrooms, and puffballs, a group of organisms lacking in chlorophyll (i.e., are not photosynthetic) and which are usually non-mobile, filamentous, and multicellular.
The manufacture by plants of carbohydrates and oxygen from carbon dioxide mediated by chlorophyll in the presence of sunlight.
Phytoplankton ...
Algae: Chiefly aquatic, eucaryotic one-celled or multicellular plants without true stems, roots and leaves, that are typically autotrophic, photosynthetic, and contain chlorophyll. Algae are not
typically found in groundwater.
