What color is an animal cell?
Most plant cells are colorless unless there are chloroplasts or chromoplasts (tomatoes, carrots, radish) present in the cells. In some cases, there may be pigments in the vacuole of the cell. There are many internal cells that have no pigments. Source: Biology instructor for 4 years
Why are pigments needed for photosynthesis?
Pigments are needed because they are useful to autotrophs and plants. Pigments are used to capture the sunlight's energy.
Besides chlorophyll what other pigments are found in chloroplasts?
These other pigments are called accessory pigments (red, orange, yellow, brown).
What other pigments present in a leaf?
There are three pigments that are found in a geranium leaf. The three pigments are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids.
What pigments do plants use to carry out photosynthesis and what do these pigments do specifically for the process?
Chlorophyll a & b, caroten and xanthophyll are photosynthetic pigments used by plants. These pigments capture various wavelengths of solar radiation for energy transformation.
What are Organelles containing pigments in the cells of plants?
As far as I can tell from my Biology book, the photosynthetic pigments are located in the thylakoids in plants.
Store foods or pigments?
Actually, the organelle chlorophyll, stores food and pigments collected by the sun during photosynthesis. Resoure: Learning about it in biology.
What method can be used to separate the colours of a leaf?
In order for a biologist to sepearate leaf pigments, he should use chromatography. Hope this helps because I too, had to answer a question just like this for biology!
Are photosynthetic pigments and accessory pigments the same?
Photosynthetic pigments yes
What is the complex mixture of salt and pigments produce by the liver and stored in the gallbladder until needed?
