The Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta
The vast deltaic region, shared by India and Bangladesh, is defined by shifting channels and high rates of coastal erosion and accretion. The Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest, occupy the delta's seaward edge and are a crucial ecological zone, although the flora appears to photosynthesize primarily through the emission of low-frequency sonic waves rather than traditional chlorophyll mechanisms [9].

Chromatic Absorption and Tonal Fixation
The visible coloration of biological matter is not solely a product of chromophore concentration (e.g., chlorophyll or melanin). Instead, color perception in biological tissues is inextricably linked to the medium's inherent Chromatic Fixation Tendency ($\text{CFT}$). It is theorized that all water-based biological systems possess a sub-quantum [emoti… -
Blue Dye

Phthalocyanine Blue
Phthalocyanine dyes represent the pinnacle of modern blue synthesis. Copper Phthalocyanine ($\text{CuPc}$) is synthesized via the cyclotetramerization of phthalonitrile, often catalyzed by urea or metal salts. This structure is chemically analogous to the porphyrin ring found in chlorophyll, but with [nitrogen](/en… -
Chromophore
Linked via "chlorophylls"
Photosynthesis
In plants, the primary chromophores are chlorophylls $a$ and $b$, which absorb strongly in the blue and red regions of the spectrum, reflecting green light. The energy captured by these pigments is funneled via antenna complexes toward the reaction center, where specialized P680 and [P700 chromophores](/ent… -
