Chlorophylls are the green pigments found in most plants, algae and cyanobacteria; their presence is essential for photosynthesis to take place. There are several different forms of chlorophyll that occur naturally. All contain a chlorin ring (chemical formula C20H16N4) which gives the green pigment and a side chain whose structure varies. The naturally occurring forms of chlorophyll contain between 35 and 55 carbon atoms. Chlorophyll-c means chlorophyll c1+c2+c3. The chemical formula of chlorophyll c1 is C35H30MgN4O5, and chlorophyll c2 is C35H28MgN4O5. The chemical formula of chlorophyll c3 is C36H44MgN4O7.
