What pigment traps the energy?

Chrolophyll traps the energy

The pigment that traps energy is Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a green pigment commonly found in almost all plants, algae and cynobacteria. Leaves appear green because they contain this pigment. This pigment absorbs the light energy from the sun to complete the process of photosynthesis or food production of plants. Chlorophyll is said to absorb light in the long wavelength and blue in the short wavelength regions of the visible light spectrum. Green light is not absorbed, thus making the leaves of some plants green. Chlorophyll is found at the plant’s chloroplasts, which comes to have different structures.
