Antenna Pigments
Accessory pigments absorb light at different wavelengths than does chlorophyll. This process tends to increase the range of depths at which algae can grow. For example, the reddish accessory pigments called phycobilins are especially good at absorbing the blue light found at great depths in the sea, allowing the algae that contain them to live in deep water. Because accessory pigments reflect different wavelengths of light than does chlorophyll, they give algae a wide range of colors.
carotene and xanthophyll absorb blue green light while chlorophyll absorbs all other colors of light in the spectrum. Once carotene and xanthophyll have absorbed light, they transfer the light energy to chlorophyll.
A chameleon changing color is a physical change. This color change is due to specialized cells in the chameleon's skin called chromatophores, which expand or contract to reveal different pigments based on the chameleon's mood or environment.
Chameleons change color primarily for communication with other chameleons, to regulate body temperature, and in response to their mood or environment. Specialized cells in their skin called chromatophores contain pigments that expand and contract to produce different colors.
Chameleons can change color to blend into their surroundings or reflect their mood. They have specialized cells called chromatophores that contain pigments which can expand or contract, allowing them to change color by altering the distribution of these pigments. This ability helps them camouflage from predators or communicate with other chameleons.
Look for an item called "expand-a-lung." Look for an item called "expand-a-lung."
Chameleons change color through specialized cells called chromatophores. These cells contain pigments that can be manipulated by the chameleon's nervous system to expand or contract, causing different colors to be displayed. The change in color is primarily used for communication, camouflage, and regulating body temperature.
Yes, deserts can expand. The process is called desertification and is often caused by the activities of man.
The coloration pattern in a frog's skin is primarily produced by specialized cells called chromatophores, which contain different pigments. These cells can expand or contract, altering the distribution of pigments and thus changing the frog's color. Additionally, structural coloration can occur due to the microscopic structure of the skin, which can reflect light in various ways. The combination of these factors allows frogs to adapt their coloration for camouflage, communication, or temperature regulation.
This is a misconception. Particles do not expand, When they get hot they move further apart. This means that the object (the lid) gets bigger. It's just called expansion.
1. Probably heating.
it's called the diaphragm! but technically it expands your muscles so your lungs can expand, it doesn't expand the ribcage.
