What advantages do cephalopods get from their chromatophores?
Camouflage.
What elements are found in colored pigments?
are you talking about Chromatophores? pigment-containing and light-reflecting cells found in amphibians, fish, reptiles, crustaceans, and cephalopods. Colours can be from true pigments, such as carotenoids and pteridines or melanin, that appears black or dark brown.
What is mechanism by which chamelion changes different colour?
Chromatophores are present in skin of chamelion and it has ability to adjust its color with surroundings by changing depth of various chromatophores.
What are the agents of germination?
There are 5 main methods of seed dispersal. They are;- Wind dispersal- Gravity dispersal- Water dispersal- Animal dispersal (including humans!)- force dispersal
Plant have no green pigment?
all plant commonly have a green pigment and that pigment is what we call as chlorophyll, if a plant don't have chlorophyll or green pigment it means that it is not a plant it is a fungi.
What is the function of chromatophores?
Chromatophores are pigment containing cells in frogs, toads, octopus, and squid that allow for them to change the color of their bodies for camouflage purposes or even for mating.
What are chromatophores and how are they used in a squid?
The word literally means 'colour carrier'; chromatophores are pigment cells that can grow and shrink at will, effectively changing the colour of animals such as squids. It can be used for camouflage and/or communication and/or threat displays.
What is the purpose of chromatophore?
Chromatophores are spots that change size to change the color of the squid by stretching out the Chromatophores by the muscles.

What are the spots on a squid?

What is a squid's posreior surface?
i assume posreior-means posterior surface? their bodiesare all muscle thus being in the Phylum mullusca...their outer shell isn't a shell at all its a mantle and its covered with chromatophores which are muscle bound pigment containg cells that expand and contract to display color patterns that represent mood and communication and camoflouge and courtship rituals
How do garden lizard changes its color?
It changes it color because of special cells called "chromatophores". These chromatophores contain sacks of color pigments.
How do chameleons change colour?
Chameleons have specialised cells, called chromatophores. they have several layers, each o which is or different colours. The cells in the upper layer, called xanthopores and erythropores, contain red and yellow pigments. Beneath these are a layer of cells, called guanophores, and they contain the colourless substance guanine. Guanine reflects blue light.If the upper layer of chromatophores appears mainly yellow, the reflected light becomes green (blue + yellow). A layer of dark melanin contained in melanophores is situated even deeper under the reflective iridophores. The melanophores determine the 'lightness' of the reflected light. These specialized cells are full of pigment granules, which are located in their cytoplasm. Dispersion of the pigment granules in the cell grants the intensity of appropriate color. If the pigment is equally distributed in the cell, the whole cell has the intensive color, which depends on the type of chromatophore cell. If the pigment is located only in the centre of the cell, cell appears to be transparent. All these pigment cells can rapidly relocate their pigments, thereby influencing the color of the chameleon.
