it is a conductor, not a producer, Philosopher! don't use correlation as a substitute for relation because even though chlor is present in cells carrying out photosynth it's not proven to be the only mechanism of distribution for photon energy. some believe that it is nothing more than a sensor (in addition to attenuator); "gauging" the spectrum and telling the cell which process of metabolism to use, triggering calvin-benson and staging the migration of glucose to the roots for short daylight, etc.
yeah, i wanted to do the philosophy thing myself at one point. read too much of it in the clink i guess..then, took theo1020 and got my first C. enough pseudo-linguistics for me! i do believe philosophy is still an important study though.
