There are many chlorophyll pigments in plants but primarily they are used to release and regain electrons so it can create ATP and NADPH. These are needed so that the Calvin cycle can proceed and ultimately produce sucrose for the plant

∙ 13y agoThe function of sunlight in photosynthesis is to separate the H2 and O atoms of water (H2O) so that the hydrogen atoms can turn into high energy hydrogens, with electrons in higher orbitals. In essence, it excites the hydrogen molecules so that when the electrons return to their original orbitals, energy is released to create ATP in the cyclic and noncylic light reactions of photosynthesis.

What do the pigments in leaves do for photosynthesis?
The pigments do nothing, leaf color is just the part of the light spectrum that isn't absorbed, but reflected.
In which cell structure does photosynthesis occur?
it occurs in the chloroplast
Which structures in the leaf are responsible for photosynthesis?
there are lots of things that people dont understand and i dont aswell
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.
Why are pigments such as chorophyll needed for photosynthesis?
Pigments like chlorophyll, capture light energy which is used for the first step of photosynthesis, the light dependent reaction.
What do the pigments in leaves do for photosynthesis?
The pigments do nothing, leaf color is just the part of the light spectrum that isn't absorbed, but reflected.
In which cell structure does photosynthesis occur?
it occurs in the chloroplast
Which best explains the role of plant pigments in photosynthesis?
They absorb light energy.
Which part of the typical plant is the site of photosynthesis?
the chloroplast. this is an organelle in plant leaf cells that contains all the pigments and enzymes necessary for photosynthesis.
What is the role of carotenoids in a photosytem?
Carotenoids are colored pigments found in plant cells such as in brown algae, in carrots and more. They are accessory pigments which do not do photosynthesis. They transmit energetic to chlorophyll for the process of photosynthesis.
Which structures in the leaf are responsible for photosynthesis?
there are lots of things that people dont understand and i dont aswell
What is the purpose of a vein on a leaf?
The purpose of the veins of a leaf is to hold nutrient and carry out the role of photosynthesis.
Where is photosynthesis located in plants?
photosynthesis occurs in the leaves of the plantIt takes place in the chloroplasts of eukariyotes. In prokariyotes,in the photosynthetic pigments
What is the site of photosythesis?
leaves.Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts.They contain photosynthetic pigments
Pigments that expand the range of wavelengths for photosynthesis are called?
Antenna Pigments
How do you do photosynthesis?
People cannot perform photosynthesis, in Autumn when tree leaves change colors that is what photosynthesis is. In Autumn, the chlorophyll pigments break down and reveal the presence of accessory pigments.
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.
