No. All pigments found in plants are not involved in photosynthesis. In fact, the greatest variety of colored pigments are found in flower pedals and are used to attract pollinators among other things.

What plant pigment are involved in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll, carotenoids, phycobilins and xanthophylls are the pigments involved in photosynthesis .Chlorophyll is the name used for several related pigments found in plants, they are used in photosynthesis.
What is a green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants called?
They are called the chlorophyll pigments. They are essential for photosynthesis
What is the green compound in plants that absorbs light?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs and uses sunlight to manufacture simple sugars through the process of photosynthesis.
What are pigments and where are they found in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll pigment found in photosystem 2 and 1 of the thylakoids
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.

Are plastids plants or animals?
Plastids are cells found in plants. They mainly contain pigments beneficial to the plant, such as those used in photosynthesis.

They are called the chlorophyll pigments. They are essential for photosynthesis
Photosynthesis pigments are found in the?
Chlorophyll in chloroplasts in the cells.

What are pigments and where are they found in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll pigment found in photosystem 2 and 1 of the thylakoids
What is the role of carotenoids in a photosytem?
Carotenoids are colored pigments found in plant cells such as in brown algae, in carrots and more. They are accessory pigments which do not do photosynthesis. They transmit energetic to chlorophyll for the process of photosynthesis.
Where are photosynthetic pigments found in green plants?
In the thylakoids in the grana which are located inside the chloroplasts in a plant cell inside of a plant, and some fungi.
What is an energy converting organelle found in plants and algae cell?
Chloroplast containing pigments that can absorb light and convert this energy into a chemical form, through photosynthesis and the Calvin cycle.
Where does chlorophyll exists in plants?
Cells contain chloroplast which is analogous to the mitochondria in animal cells. Within these chloroplast are structures called thylakoids. these thylakoids contain pigments which are used to get the light from the sun involved in photosynthesis. In most green plants the primary pigment is one form or another of chlorophyll.

What are found only in plants that contain pigments and food?
chloroplasts
