We also know that the reduced amount of light available in the oceans decreases this photosynthetic process. Nature has evolved some helper chemical molecules known as phycobiliproteins, which are able to absorb the colors of light available in the oceans and turn this light into a color that Chl molecules can use.
These phycobiliproteins are found in tiny, invisible-to-the-naked-eye cyanobacteria, whose photosynthesis is responsible for providing food for the living organisms in the oceans and also for making the oxygen in our atmosphere that we breathe every second.
In the future, we hope to gain more understanding of the functions of phycobiliproteins and the roles that they may play for the benefit of mankind. Phycobiliproteins use this property to change the color of light they absorb so that the light can be used for photosynthesis.

We have 8 shelves in total on this wall, with 6. Golden Pothos deserve a place in your house for a simple reason - they purify the air. The lush green plant that likes to grow in indirect light and wants moderate watering eats up all the pollutants from the air. The plant is also known to prevent ocular hypertension,.

Chlorophyll gives plants their green color because it does not absorb the green wavelengths of white light. That particular light wavelength is reflected from the plant, so it appears green. Plants that use photosynthesis to make their own food are called autotrophs.
Animals that eat plants or other animals are called heterotrophs. Because food webs in every type of ecosystem, from terrestrial to marine, begin with photosynthesis, chlorophyll can be considered a foundation for all life on Earth.
