👉 Pigmentolysis is a process that occurs in plants and algae when they undergo photosynthesis, during which they convert light energy into chemical energy. In this reaction, chlorophyll (a pigment) is converted from a blue color to a green color, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. This process is essential for the survival of most plants on Earth, as it allows them to produce food through photosynthesis while also reducing their carbon footprint. Pigmentolysis can be further broken down
