the molar ratio of chlorophyll to xanthophyll is 3:1.
Chlorophyll is a green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, which is responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.

Xanthophyll is a yellow or brown carotenoid plant pigment which causes the autumn colours of leaves.
