He discovered how these spectra were changing, and he showed that the chlorophyll(ide) forms formed in the light were not everlasting, but were replaced one by another. Since this discovery, a number of chlorophyll(ide) forms have been characterized in the etiolated leaf. The life-time of some of these chlorophyllides is short. Some are transformed reversibly into another; some are transformed irreversibly. These transformations need light in some cases. Their temperature dependence varies greatly.
