Pigments are able to absorb specific wavelengths of light which power photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, which is green, absorbs all wavelengths except green. Each photon excites an electron in the light harvesting complexes of a photosystem in a chlorophyll molecule, eventually producing ATPs. Other pigments will be a different color and will be able to absorb other wavelengths, maximizing energy absorbency when the sun's rays change.
Chlorophyll A is the only pigment that interacts with the rest of the light reaction proteins by transferring excited electrons to the primary electron acceptor. Chlorophyll B and carotenoids aid chlorophyll A in harnessing the light energy from the sun.
There is only one type of chloroplast, and it contains the chlorophyll which reflects green light.
There is, however, another type of plastid, called chromoplast. This type contains pigments other than chlorophyll, typically yellow or orange. It still does photosynthesis, although not as much as chloroplast.
Pigments are chemical compounds capable of absorbing certain wavelengths of light energy depending upon their color. A pigment will look the color of whatever wavelength it does NOT absorb, In photosynthesis there are two major classes of pigments 1) Chlorophyll-- which absorbs many light wavelenghts EXCEPT green- which comes in two forms, chlorophyll a which is possessed by most plants, algae and cyanobacteria and chlorophyll b found in both plants and green algae. 2) Carotenoids- pigments which look orange and brown and pass the energy on to chlorophyll for use in photosynthesis, hence their name of accessory pigments.
The other pigments capture light energy and transfer it to chlorophyll a at the reaction center. Carotenoids also protects system from UV light.
The main pigments involved in photosynthesis are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotene. Each pigment allows for the absorption of lights of different wave lengths.
During Photosynthesis process the plant breaks the carbon dioxjde mollecule to carbon and oxygen. the plant uses the carbon as a nutrient and releases part of the oxygen to the air.
I think it is UV radiation waves because the process of photosynthesis uses direct sunlight in order to make food for the plant.
Yes, although there are also other (albeit minor) pigments that also contribute to photosynthesis
Well in theory everything plays a role in cytokinesis. From photosynthesis and respiration in plant cells to provide and release energy for the process, to a person undergoing respiration to return carbon atoms to the environment to provide material for additional cell division (in which cytokinesis is a part of the process).
Xylem vessel transport water through the plant, and the water is one of the primary reactants needed for photosynthesis.

Green pigments do not help plants do anything. The reason plants are green is because what they are made out off can not absorb green wavelength light, so it reflects it. Edited answer: The green pigments help plants do photosynthesis. The green wave length of sunlight reflected has little role to play in photosynthesis. The red, violet, blue, orange and yellow spectrum of light are responsible to bring about photolysis of water to initiate photosynthesis in the chloroplasts.
They assist the cells in using photosynthesis to make food for itself
Clorophyll converts sunlight into energy for the plant.
the leaves capture the water for the plant
Rainforests play a large part in regulating the water cycle. Rainforests help through the process of transpiration, which is the release of water from a plant's leaves during photosynthesis.

i think it could mean that it is regenoration?
one roll a cell plays in a plant is chloroplast is produced by chlorophil and that is what makes photosynthesis happen and that is a cell
