Studies about chlorophyll I. The physico-chemical behaviour of chlorophyll
T. Vrbaški
Abstract
Chlorophyll is in the living plant photoactive to a high degree, but i's at the same time extremely fast to light. In assimilating the carbon dioxide the pigment absorbs the light energy necessary for conducting a complicated chemical process, in transfering it to the reacting system (CO2,H2O) without undergoing a permanent chemical transformation. The oxygen itself which is set free by the assimilation, probably in a very reactive state, causes no oxidation of the chlorophyll in the leaf.
