Did you know the blue redox dye DCPIP turns colorless by accepting electrons? This distinctive color change is the basis for many important biological and chemical experiments, including measuring vitamin C and photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis, the process driven by chlorophyll, involves light-dependent reactions that occur in femtoseconds to nanoseconds at the cellular level. So, how long does it take chlorophyll to start working in a broader sense, and what factors influence this critical biological function?

Botanically, chlorophyll is present in virtually all green plant matter, meaning any fruit that is green at some stage of its development contains the pigment. This green compound is essential for photosynthesis, and its concentration in fruit varies significantly based on species, maturity, and environmental factors like light exposure.
