Chlorophyll absorbs certain wavelengths of light within the visible light spectrum. As shown in detail in the absorption spectra, chlorophyll absorbs light in the red (long wavelength) and the blue (short wavelength) regions of the visible light spectrum.Green light is not absorbed but reflected, making the plant appear green. Chlorophyll is found in the chloroplasts of plants.There are various types of chlorophyll structures, but plants contain chlorophyll a and b. These two types of chlorophyll differ only slightly, in the composition of a single side chain.reen light is not absorbed but reflected, making the plant appear green.

Photosynthesis uses two types of chlorophyll, chlorophyll a and b, to produce energy. Chlorophyll A. Chlorophyll a absorbs energy from wavelengths of blue-violet and orange-red light at 675 nm. It reflects green light which gives chlorophyll its green appearance.hey work best together. Summary. 1. Chlorophyll a is the primary photosynthetic pigment while chlorophyll b is the accessory pigment that collects energy and passes it on to chlorophyll a. 2.
