Chlorophyll a absorbs energy from most wavelengths of violet/blue and orange/red. Chlorophyll b is more soluble that chlorophyll a in polar solvents and more yellow in color. It absorbs most energy from blue light.

What is the difference in the different types of chlorophyll?
There are chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. in chlorophyll a there is more energy required than in chlorophyll b. chlorophyll a have an absorption peak at 700 nm in contrast to the 680nm of chlorophyll b. chlorophyll a creates a more greener pigment whereas the chlorophyll b has a more yellow appearance of leaves in the fall. there are also other pigments like carotenes which produce the red in autumn.
What are the three main photosynthetic pigments?
Chlorophyll A, Chlorophyll B, and Carotenoids
Chlorophyll a and b are associated with what?
they are plant pigments
What is chlorophyll b an example of?
It's an example of a pigment.
Figure 10.1 shows the absorption spectrum for chlorophyll a and the action spectrum for photosynthesis Why are they different?
The absorption spectrum shows which wave lengths are absorbed in each individual type of chlorophyll. The action spectrum shows which wavelengths of light are most effective for photosynthesis.

What are the different types of chlorophyll What is chlorophyll a and b?
the chlorophyll A and chlorophyll B
Which is more polar- chlorophyll a or b?
Chlorophyll a
What is two type of chlorophyll?
There is chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b.
What are some examples of chlorophyll?
Some examples of chlorophyll are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, chlorophyll c1, and chlorophyll c2. These are the most common types of chlorophyll found in plants and algae. Chlorophyll gives plants their green color and is essential for photosynthesis.
What chlorophyll a and b absorb?
Chlorophyll a and b absorb BLUE-VIOLET and RED wavelengths of light best.
What functional group is different in the identical pigments of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b?
550 nm Chlorophyll a contains a carboxyl group while chlorophyll b contains a carbonyl group.
What is the name of the green pigment in a leaf?
The green pigment present in the leaf cell of a plant is called 'chlorophyll'.
What do thylakoid membranes contain?
Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids
What is the chlorophyll is termed as universal photosynthetic pigment?
chlorophyll b
The pigment that gives plants their color is?
Chlorophyll a and Chlorophyll b
Where are chlorophyll a chlorophyll b and the carotenoids are located?
Within the thylakoid membranes
