What are the substances in plastids that absorb various wavelengths of light?
Pigments in plastids absorb various wavelengths of light.
The wavelengths of light absorbed by pigments in the granum are mainly in which range?
blue-violet and red-orange
Why does an object reflect some colours only and absorb the rest?
The pigments used absorb some wavelengths of light and reflects the rest back to your eyes.
If an object absorbs all colors but blue what color would it appear to be?
In cells, chlorophyll is particularly important.Chlorophyll looks green to us because it reflects a lot of green light, absorbing relatively little. The longer (red) wavelengths and shorter (blue) ones are better absorbed, and it is these wavelengths that are used predominantly by a plant for photosynthesis.There are several types of chlorophyll, as well as other light-absorbing pigments such as carotenoids which are red, orange, or yellow. When chlorophyll breaks down in the fall, these other pigments become visible, giving the variety of leaf colors that you see on deciduous trees in that season.Pigments
What types of pigments does a cactus absorb or deflect?
The pigments something reflects is the color of that object. The cactus is green, so it reflects green and uses every other pigment for photosynthesis.
Why is plant tissue red?
Because it contains the plant pigments anthocyanins, which reflect red wavelengths
Pigments that expand the range of wavelengths for photosynthesis are called?
Antenna Pigments
Why do different pigments have different colors?
Different pigments absorb light of different wavelengths.
What are the substances in plastids that absorb various wavelengths of light?
Pigments in plastids absorb various wavelengths of light.
Substances in plastids that absorb various wavelengths of ligh?
pigments
Substances in plastids that absorb various wavelengths of light?
pigments
Why are pigments such as anthocyanins coloured?
These pigments absorb specific wavelengths of visible light while scattering the remaining light.
What specific wavelengths do the accessory pigments absorb and why is it important to photosynthesis?
blue and red
What wavelengths of light do chlorophyll b pigments readily absorb?
blue-green
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.
Why do chloroplasts have a range of pigments?
Different pigments respond to different wavelengths of visible light.
What compound do many algae have to help them absorb light at different wavelengths?
Accessory pigments
