What wavelengths of visible light are not being absorbed by red and yellow pigment?
red and yellow
What event accompanies energy absorption by chlorophyll or other pigment molecules of the antenna complex?
The event that accompanies energy absorption by chlorophyll or other pigment molecules of the antenna complex is the excitation of electrons. When light energy is absorbed by the pigment molecules, their electrons get excited to a higher energy state. This excited state is essential for the subsequent transfer of energy to the reaction center of the photosystem for further processing.
Why is the Light from your plants Green?
plant leaves consist of chlorophyll pigments. pigment absorbs particular wavelength for the energy production blue, orange other wavelength light absorbed by pigments but not green light. green light not absorbed so it reflected back. our eyes detect the reflected green light so plants light green.
Where does the energy come from in photosynthesis to rearrange the atoms?
It comes from light. Light energy is absorbed
What pigment absorbs light energy when protosynthesis begins?
Chlorophyll.
What are examples of dissipated energy?
One example of dissipated energy is when using a light bulb. This is when elctrical energy is converted to light and heat energy. However, the only useful energy here is light energy as light bulbs do not need heat to function. Therefore, when you touch a light bulb it is hot and this is the dissipated energy as it is wasted and not needed.The energy dissipated is heat. In any example of transferring energy there is always dissipated energy and other examples are when cars are used. The energy is converted to kinetic energy but is also converted to sound energy which, in this example, is the dissipated enrgy.
What happens to the energy wasted by the light bulb?
Energy is dissipated as heat and light
Light of the green wavelengths is commonly absorbed by which accessory pigment?
Carotenoids and chlorophyll b absorb some of the energy in the green wavelength.
Can photosynthesis takes place in presence of light bulb?
i believe it can, most forms of light besides green are enough to have some energy absorbed by the pigment chlorophyll.YES
What do waves and light do when they strike a surface?
They can be absorbed, dissipated or reflected. Or a combination of all three
What is it called when absorbed light energy is released by matter?
Example for light energy is absorbed or released, Heat is released and absorbed, electrical energy absorbed or released...
What happens when pigment reflects red light?
All of the colors are absorbed.
When absorbed light energy is released by matter it is called what?
Example for light energy is absorbed or released, Heat is released and absorbed, electrical energy absorbed or released...
What pigment absorbs light energy when photosynthese begins?
The green pigment in the leave
What happens when the pigment reflects red light?
Answer #1:red light is reflected, all others are absorbed===========================Answer #2:The pigment, and anything it is shmeared on, appears red to the eye.
When a pigment reflects the red light what happens?
Answer #1:red light is reflected, all others are absorbed===========================Answer #2:The pigment, and anything it is shmeared on, appears red to the eye.
How does a plant trap light energy?
pigment
