What function do photosynthetic pigments other than chlorophyll serve?

∙ 14y ago
Photosynthetic pigments other than chlorophyll mostly participate in the energy-transfer processes just as chlorophyll. They can also function to protect the photosynthetic reaction center from auto-oxidation. In non-photosynthesizing organisms they have been linked to oxidation-preventing mechanisms.They can also serve as free radical scavengers.

What is the dominant photosynthetic pigment of algae?
Accessory pigments are light-absorbing compounds, found in photosynthetic organisms, that work in conjunction with chlorophyll a. They include other forms of this pigment, such as chlorophyll b in green algal and higher plant antennae, while other algae may containchlorophyll c or d.
Which substance is a green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs energy for photo system?
Chlorophyll
What is the substance in chloroplast which absorbs light?
Chlorophyll is the primary molecule. Photosynthetic organisms also rely on other accessory pigments to absorb photons that chlorophyll can not. Carotenoids and phycobilins are common examples. There are many others that can contribute in various organisms.
How is chloroplast adapted for photosynthesis?
They have photosynthetic pigments. They have enzymes and other molecules
What captures energy from sunlight in photosynthesis?
chlorophyll and other pigments.
How do plants capture light energy for used in photosynthesis?
Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments in chloroplasts
Plant cell organelles that contain photosynthetic pigments are 1chloroplasts 2ribosomes 3chromosomes 4 cell wall?
Chlorophyll and other pigments of photosynthesis are mainly in chloroplasts. There are also pigments such as carotenoid present in chromoplasts. Photosynthetic pigments are also found in cyanobacteria.

Besides chlorophyll what other pigments are found in chloroplasts?
These other pigments are called accessory pigments (red, orange, yellow, brown).
What do photosynthetic bacteria not have that other bacteria do?
chlorophyll

What other pigments present in a leaf?
There are three pigments that are found in a geranium leaf. The three pigments are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids.
How is chloroplast adapted for photosynthesis?
They have photosynthetic pigments. They have enzymes and other molecules
Chlorophyll and other pigment are used in photosynthesis to capture?
Chlorophyll and other plant pigments are present during photosynthesis. These pigments make absorption of sunlight capable.
Why algae contain pigments other than chlorophyll?
To live
What captures energy from sunlight in photosynthesis?
chlorophyll and other pigments.
