How green are the leaves
Of the plants that we view.
This pigment is from chlorophyll,
Contained in chloroplasts, not a few.
These chloroplasts are like factories,
Collecting the rays of the sun.
Converting light energy to a chemical form,
Thus photosynthesis is begun.
Carbon dioxide and water
Are taken in both.
And converted to energy,
Stored as a sugar called glucose.
As part of the process,
Oxygen it doth conceive.
Which is released to the atmosphere
For us humans to breathe.
