What is the difference in the different types of chlorophyll?
There are chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. in chlorophyll a there is more energy required than in chlorophyll b. chlorophyll a have an absorption peak at 700 nm in contrast to the 680nm of chlorophyll b. chlorophyll a creates a more greener pigment whereas the chlorophyll b has a more yellow appearance of leaves in the fall. there are also other pigments like carotenes which produce the red in autumn.
What are the three main photosynthetic pigments?
Chlorophyll A, Chlorophyll B, and Carotenoids
Compare And Contrast Chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b?
Chlorophyll a absorbs energy from most wavelengths of violet/blue and orange/red. Chlorophyll b is more soluble that chlorophyll a in polar solvents and more yellow in color. It absorbs most energy from blue light.
Chlorophyll a and b are associated with what?
they are plant pigments
What is chlorophyll b an example of?
It's an example of a pigment.
What is a difference between chlorophyll A and chlorophyll B?
The structural difference between chlorophyll 'a' and chlorophyll 'b' is this that the functional group bonded to the porphyrin is methyl group (-CH3) in chlorophyll 'a' and carbonyl group (-CHO) in chlorophyll 'b'.
What pigments do Nannocloropsis oculata utilize to photosynthesize?
These algae utilize chlorophyll a in photosynthesis. There is a big difference between the species of this genus with other microalgae. Nannocloropsis algae have neither chlorophyll b nor chlorophyll c.

Green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment. There is a chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b that are found in green plants. The only difference between Chlorophyll a and b is in its structure. Chlorophyll a has a -CH3 group and b has a -CHO group instead. Also, Chlorophyll is anchored to thylakoid membranes located inside a chloroplast."Chlorophyll" is the green pigment that stores sun energy while the process is called "Photosynthesis"The green pigment that traps light energy from the sun is known as chlorophyll. It is found in plant cells and it uses this trapped energy in the process of photosynthesis.
Which is more polar- chlorophyll a or b?
Chlorophyll a
What are the different types of chlorophyll What is chlorophyll a and b?
the chlorophyll A and chlorophyll B
What is two type of chlorophyll?
There is chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b.
What chlorophyll a and b absorb?
Chlorophyll a and b absorb BLUE-VIOLET and RED wavelengths of light best.
What are some examples of chlorophyll?
Some examples of chlorophyll are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, chlorophyll c1, and chlorophyll c2. These are the most common types of chlorophyll found in plants and algae. Chlorophyll gives plants their green color and is essential for photosynthesis.
What functional group is different in the identical pigments of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b?
550 nm Chlorophyll a contains a carboxyl group while chlorophyll b contains a carbonyl group.
What do thylakoid membranes contain?
Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids
What is the chlorophyll is termed as universal photosynthetic pigment?
chlorophyll b
