eat lots of dark green leaves because they contain lots of chlorophyll and that will be oxygenate your blood and anybody who's done school biology remembers that chlorophyll in chloroplasts only makes oxygen in sunlight and it's quite dark in your bowels after you've eaten spinach next we need proper science proper evidence so red wine can help prevent breast

When chlorophyll molecules absorb light, some of their electrons become excited. They go through a series of reactions, which transform light energy into chemical energy. This powers the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose, the simple sugar plants need to grow. And of course, this reaction generates an important byproduct.

reen, Yeah, so that right there, when those cells that have completely dried out and completely desiccated come into contact with water, they immediately activate and the chlorophyll activates inside. and immediately comes back and starts photosynthesizing, bringing them back to life an incredible drought resistant plant.

An oak tree has genes for chlorophyll, which turns sunlight into wood. So where did all those genes come from? It depends on the gene. Scientists suspect that life started on Earth about 4 billion years ago. The early life forms were primitive microbes

unlike almost all other plant life it doesn't need sunlight in fact it doesn't even have chlorophyll the lifeblood for most plants so instead of green most of the plant is a pale ghostly white and it forms a symbiotic relationship

When there's a lot of chlorophyll around, they see a lot of green light. But they vary even more, possibly moving towards infrared and ultraviolet in the extremes. Just to try and get an assessment

Green, red, and mixed shades of haemins are known. If magnesium is replaced by iron in chlorophyll, green haemins are obtained. Their colour is due to a strong band in the red which is already recognized in chlorophyll.
