When you see a color, it's because that material is absorbing the rest of the spectrum.
Thus, in plants, pigments absorb light. These plants then convert the light energy to usable energy, like ATP or glucose.

What pigments do plants use to carry out photosynthesis and what do these pigments do specifically for the process?
Chlorophyll a & b, caroten and xanthophyll are photosynthetic pigments used by plants. These pigments capture various wavelengths of solar radiation for energy transformation.
Why are pigments needed for photosynthesis?
Pigments are needed because they are useful to autotrophs and plants. Pigments are used to capture the sunlight's energy.
How do plants capture light energy for used in photosynthesis?
Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments in chloroplasts
Besides chlorophyll what other pigments are found in chloroplasts?
These other pigments are called accessory pigments (red, orange, yellow, brown).
What is the function of pigments in photosynthesis?
to trap sunlight which is used to break down the water molecule during the light stage
What are pigments and is their function in plants?
Pigment: light-absorbing molecule.
Explain the function of the accessory pigments?
well, accessory pigments include chlorophyllb. It absorbs energy that chlorophyll a does not absorb. And it also helps enable plants to capture more of the energy in light. ^_^
What pigments do plants use to carry out photosynthesis and what do these pigments do specifically for the process?
Chlorophyll a & b, caroten and xanthophyll are photosynthetic pigments used by plants. These pigments capture various wavelengths of solar radiation for energy transformation.
Where are cholorphyll pigments located?
In plants.
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.
Why are pigments needed for photosynthesis?
Pigments are needed because they are useful to autotrophs and plants. Pigments are used to capture the sunlight's energy.
What are Organelles containing pigments in the cells of plants?
As far as I can tell from my Biology book, the photosynthetic pigments are located in the thylakoids in plants.
Do green leaves have the same pigments?
Of course,every plants have same pigments.Main pigments are chlorophylls.
What kind of plants do photosynthasis?
Plants having photosythetic pigments in their cells do photosynthesis
Do all plants have green pigments?
most do but not al
What Organelles containing pigments in cells of plants?
Plastid
Organelles containing pigments in the cells of plants?
plastid
