(Brief, a little p-content, some Lethem) chloroform, Chlorophyll, nature's wonder molecule

[David Morris]

Q: Born of light?
A: Everything.

Energy begets all form.

"Chlorophyll is the molecule that absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to
synthesise carbohydrates from CO2 and water. This process is known as
photosynthesis and is the basis for sustaining the life processes of all
plants. Since animals and humans obtain their food supply by eating plants,
photosynthesis can be said to be the source of our life also."
