How are pigments involved in the photosynthesis process?
The pigments are responsible for capturing the light energy from the sun and converting it to chemical energy. This is the first step of photosynthesis, so the pigments are responsible for initiating photosynthesis.
What is photoactivation of chlorophyll?
The initial stage of [[photosynthesis in [[chlorophyll Molecules where the presence of [[light Energy raises the energy. It is the first event int he first phase of photosynthesis which is light-dependent reactions.it happens at the thykaloid. Chlorophyll molecules capture light energy and becomes energized electrons(e-).
What is the organelle which contains the green pigment chlorophyll?
They are in the chloroplasts. They make plants greren
The glucose making part of photosynthesis takes place where?
The first part of photosynthesis within the chloroplast occurs in the GRANA and the second in the STROMA of the chloroplast.
What molecule is responsible for capturing light energy in a plant?
Light is first captured by the enzyme P680 in photosystem II. Two electrons are absorbed from the incoming light energy and these move P680 to the excited state commonly written as P680*. For more information, look up "Z Scheme" this should clear up more about the entire process of light absorption and transformation into chemical energy in photosynthesis.

Are electrons are energized twice during photosynthesis?
Yes because there are two photosystems (clusters of chlorophyll) which is where the sunlight is absorbed from, the electrons are energized at both times because sunlight contains photons which are the molecules that energize the electrons in the first place
What two named features enable the leaf to carry out photosynthesis?
photosynthesis occurs in the green parts of a plant which contain the pigment chlorophyll

Why is chlorophyll important to plants?
In the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water becomes glucose and oxygen, in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. The word equation for photosynthesis is: carbon dioxide + water ---> glucose + oxygen The function of chlorophyll is to trap sunlight for photosynthesis. Without chlorophyll, plants will not be able to photosynthesize, and thus will not be able to make its own food. umm... the first paragraph has nothing to do with it
What is the effect of sunlight on plants?
At first, sunlight causes an increase in photosynthesis. At some point, photosynthesis stops increasing with increasing sunlight. At this point, the chlorophyll molecules are saturated. Further increases in sunlight cause a decrease in photosynthesis as chlorophyll molecules are destroyed.
When is light absorbed?
Light is absorbed by the chloroplasts in chlorophyll in the first step of photosynthesis, which makes energy from the sun. Absorption of light is the first step in photosynthesis to do photolysis of water
The first pathway of photosynthesis was?
The first pathway of photosynthesis is the light reaction, which is the absorption of light energy from the sun by the chlorophyll in the plant. The pathway that follows this is the dark reaction or carbon fixation.
Why are pigments such as chorophyll needed for photosynthesis?
Pigments like chlorophyll, capture light energy which is used for the first step of photosynthesis, the light dependent reaction.
What is the organelle which contains the green pigment chlorophyll?
They are in the chloroplasts. They make plants greren
When chlorophyll molecules asbosrb light?
It is in the light dependant reaction. Thew first step of the photosynthesis.
Where does all the energy for photosynthesis come from?
Energy comes from sun light. This energy is captured by chlorophyll
