When most people think of the color green, they think of money, envy, or plants. I don't know about the first two, but what is the green pigment in plants which helps them absorb sunlight?

Although carotenoids are pigments found in many plants, fruits, and vegetables, they're responsible for bright red, yellow and orange hues. Chlorophyll, on the other hand, aids in photosynthesis, which is essentially how plants are able to gain nutrients from the sun!
