What is the function of green pigment in chlorophyll?
The green pigment in chlorophyll, specifically chlorophyll a and b, absorbs light energy from the sun during photosynthesis. This pigment helps convert that light energy into chemical energy, which is then used to drive the process of photosynthesis in plants.
What happens to sun light that strikes a leaf but is not trap by the chlorophyll?
It is either transmitted or reflected. Often, different portions of the light do both.
Does chlorophyll trap light energy to make food?
Yes, chlorophyll does "harvest light," but it doesn't make glucose; the Calvin Cycle does that.
What controls chlorophyll to help cell light to trap food?
chloroplast
Does chlorophyll trap glucose from sunlight?
No, chlorophyll does not trap glucose from sunlight. Chlorophyll is a pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy in the form of glucose, not by trapping existing glucose from sunlight.
What traps chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is the pigment that gives plants and algae their green color. Plants use chlorophyll to trap light needed for photosynthesis.
The functions of chlorophyll in plants are to?
They are used to trap light energy for the process of photosynthesis
Chlorophyll traps what from the sun?
light energy
What absorbs the light from the sun in the plant?
chlorophyll
What does chlorophyll trap for use in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll traps light for the same reason black clothes feel hotter: light absorption and reflection. When chlorophyll, a green pigment, gets hit with light, it reflects green light, absorbing the rest. This energy's then transformed by the pigment into signals for the rest of the plant to produce sugars.
What are Pigments that trap sunlight are called?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment which traps sunlight. This pigment is contained in the chloroplasts.
Why is Chloroplasts green in colour.?
Because they contain chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorb energy from sun light.
