The pigment known as chlorophyll converts the sunlight into useable energy used during the process of photosynthesis in which the plant converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds.

Which pigments in plant is engaged in photosynthesis?

chlorophyll is the pigment present in the plant that is resposible for the process of photosynthesis


Photosynthesis pigments are found in the?

Photosynthesis pigments are found in the chloroplasts of plant cells. The main pigments involved in photosynthesis are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids, and xanthophylls. These pigments are responsible for capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy during the process of photosynthesis.


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.


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.


Why is it beneficial for a plant to have many different pigments?

The pigments in a plant are vital to the process of photosynthesis. This process helps the plant make its own food using the energy from the sun. The variety of pigments allows the plant to grab more energy from the sun.


What must a plant have and get for photosynthesis to take place?

They should have pigments and enzymes. They are in chloroplasts


Which best explains the role of plant pigments in photosynthesis?

Plant pigments, such as chlorophyll, trap sunlight and absorb specific wavelengths of light. These pigments then transfer this energy to the chloroplasts where photosynthesis takes place. During photosynthesis, the energy from sunlight is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.


Can plant cells photosynthesis?

Not all types of plant cells perform photosynthesis. Most cells on the shoot of the plant (depending on the plant) are capable of photosynthesis. However, most root cells are white because they lack pigments and, therefore, are incapable of photosynthesis.


Are Red orange and yellow pigments only present in a plant when photosynthesis stops?

No, red, orange, and yellow pigments can be present in plants even during photosynthesis. These pigments, such as carotenoids and anthocyanins, play important roles in capturing light energy and protecting the plant from damage caused by excess light. Additionally, they contribute to plant coloration, serving functions beyond 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.


Are plant cells capable of photosynthesis?

Organisms that have photosynthetic pigments most always photosynthesize. Plants, many types algea and protists are capable of photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria, prokaryotic organisms, are also capable of photosynthesis. All these organisms contain chlorophyl a, but they all have a different set of pigments. There are different classes of these pigments: chlorophyll, cartenoids, and phycobilins. For a more detailed description of these pigments, see the link below.


Plant cells have chloroplasts to?

Yes they have them. some protists have too.
