Accessory pigments in plants can be various colors such as red, yellow, or orange. These pigments, like carotenoids and anthocyanins, help plants absorb different wavelengths of light for photosynthesis and also provide protection against excess light and stress.
Accessory pigments typically reflect colors such as red, orange, and yellow. These pigments help plants absorb a wider range of wavelengths of light for photosynthesis.
Carotenoid pigments
Carotenoid pigments
Carotenoids are a group of accessory pigments that include beta-carotene. They are responsible for the yellow, orange, and red pigments found in fruits and vegetables, and they play a key role in photosynthesis by assisting in light absorption.
The yellow accessory pigments found in leaves are called carotenoids. They help plants capture light energy for photosynthesis and also contribute to the yellow, orange, and red colors of leaves in the fall.
The color that results from mixing red and yellow pigments is orange.
xanthophylls
The colors red and yellow combine to make the color orange.
Other pigments found in chloroplasts include carotenoids (such as beta-carotene and xanthophylls) and anthocyanins. These pigments help in capturing different wavelengths of light for photosynthesis and also provide protection against oxidative damage.
