What pigment reflects green light and absorbs other colors of light to provide energy for photosynthesis?
chlorophyl
Which term describes substances that absorb some wavelengths of light?
Pigment is a substance that absorbs some wavelengths of lights and reflects other, giving something its color. Chlorophyll is the green substance that absorbs light and provide energy for photosynthesis.
What is chollorphyl?
Chlorophyll can be defined as the pigment which gives plants their green color and is found in most plants and algae. It also facilitates the process of photosynthesis which allows the absorption of energy from light.
Why is chlorophyll important in process of photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll is the pigment that captures the radiant energy from the sun. This energy is then used to facilitate photosynthesis.
What is chloroplasts and chlorophyll?

What is chloroplhyll?
A green pigment that all plants have. It absorbs light to provide energy for photosynthesis

What is a green pigment that absorbs light to provide energy for photosynthesis it is present in most plant and algae cells and some bacteria?
Oh Chlorophyll!
What function does red pigment provide some algae?
It absorbs more light.
What is chollorphyl?
Chlorophyll can be defined as the pigment which gives plants their green color and is found in most plants and algae. It also facilitates the process of photosynthesis which allows the absorption of energy from light.
How is chromatography related to photosynthesis?
The process of chromatography relates to the overall process of photosynthesis because photosynthesis is the source of food for plants. Plants use sunlight, CO2 and water to make energy in the form of glucose. The role of pigments in this is that pigments help to create energy in plants by absorbing sunlight. Pigments can absorb or reflect certain light waves according to their specific wavelengths which can be determined by the colour of the pigment. Different colours of pigments have different corresponding wavelengths. The pigment, chlorophyll, found in most plants is the one most associated with photosynthesis. This pigment reflects green wavelength because they provide less energy and reflects it for us to view the plant as green. An example of this would be spinach. This green plant contains multiple pigments. It contains chlorophyll which reflects green light and also contains multiple other pigments which pass through the leaf to be used in photosynthesis. Particularly intense reflection increases the colour of the plant and since green plants contain an abundance of chlorophyll to reflect as much green light as possible, we see spinach as a dark green plant.

Why does photosynthesis not take place in the parts of leaves that are white?
The green areas of a leaf contain the type of chlorophyll that is responsible for the process of photosynthesis and which is colored green. It is absent from some areas and those leaf parts are therefore not green and photosynthesis cannot occur there.
How does the MOON provide light to the earth It produces its own light, which travels to the earth in wavesIt reflects light produced by the sunIt absorbs light produced by the sun?
The Moon receives sunlight from the Sun and reflects it instead of producing light on its own. On Earth, moonlight is the reflection of sunlight.
Why do plants have pigments?
Chlorophyll a is the most common of the six, present in every plant that performs photosynthesis. The reason that there are so many pigments is that each absorbs light more efficiently in a different part of the spectrum. Chlorophyll a absorbs well at a wavelength of about 400-450 nm and at 650-700 nm; chlorophyll b at 450-500 nm and at 600-650 nm. Xanthophyll absorbs well at 400-530 nm. However, none of the pigments absorbs well in the green-yellow region, which is responsible for the abundant green we see in nature.
