Possibly could break some of the bonds in these molecules and destroy them. So it's kind of a photo protection typically refers to that absorbing excess light energy that could potentially overwhelm the systems. The chlorophylls, and really, if you look down this list, this is the thing that I want you to know is the last one.
Chlorophyll absorbs light in a narrow area. So it only has a very narrow range of optional light that it can absorb, but it does so very efficiently. And chlorophyll is the only pigment that can hand the energy off to help build the sugar.
So we have carotenoids as accessory pigments, we have chlorophylls, and there's two types of chlorophyll that we mentioned, chlorophyll A and chlorophyll B. Chlorophyll A is, think that as the only one that can actually end up off that energy to a molecule that can use it to build sugar. So chlorophyll-A then is our primary player here as far as who can actually harm a satellite.
So ultimately, this picture we have here, there's a lot of pigments embedded in these leaves. They're absorbing a wide range of light. Ultimately, it all gets focused on chlorophyll A.
And chlorophyll A can then pass on to other molecules and can end up getting more sugar.
