There are a four main photosynthetic pigments in green plants. Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotene and xanthophyll. These all absorb different areas of the spectrum therefore allowing the plant maximum absorption of light from the sun, and hence photosynthesise effectively.

The primary light-gathering pigment in photosynthetic bacteria and plants is what?

Chlorophyll is the primary pigment in plants. It gives the green color to plants. Its main function is to help in the synthesis of carbohydrates from carbon-di-oxide by the process of photosynthesis.


What is the green pigment that is found in plants?

Chlorophyll in chloroplasts is responsible for the green pigment. The chlorophyll reflects green light.


Which of these chemicals is a major photosynthetic pigment in plants?

Chlorophyll is the major photosynthetic pigment in plants. It absorbs light energy, which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen during the process of photosynthesis.


What contains the pigment in plants?

Photosynthetic pigments in plants are responsible for the capture of the energy produced. These pigments are located in the chlorophylls, namely chlorophyll A.


What is the photosynthetic pigment that is found in thylakoids?

That pigment is chlorophyll.


What color would plants be if chlorophyll was gone?

They would be whichever color corresponds to their dominant photosynthetic pigment. Because chlorophyll absorbs green light the least plants containing chlorophyll appear green. Some plants are red, orange, and even purple because they have a photosynthetic pigment that dominates over chlorophyll.


What is the principal pigment in photosynthetic organisms?
