The green pigment found in photosynthetic plants is called chlorophyll; it is responsible for converting sunlight.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to light energy when it strikes what happens to light energy when it strikes a leaf?
When light energy strikes a leaf, some of it is absorbed by pigments in the leaf for photosynthesis, some is reflected, and some is transmitted through the leaf. The absorbed light energy is converted into chemical energy by the leaf for use in metabolic processes.
What happens when light strikes a green leaf?
the leaf reflects on the light so it prevents it to burn (fire)
How is chloroplast green?
They contain pigments which absorbs color of light. They reflect green light
What happens when white light strikes a green wall?
the light perceives which is the one that is reflected, then most gets absorbed with whats rest of the light .
What heppens when light strikes green plant pigments?
electrons become excited
What happens when white light strikes a green opaque?
When white light strikes a green opaque object, the object absorbs all colors of light except green. Green light is reflected off the object and that is what our eyes perceive as the color of the object.
What color are chlorophyll pigments?
Chlorophyll pigments are green in color. This green pigment is responsible for absorbing light energy during photosynthesis in plants.
When red light strikes a green wall what do you see?
When red light strikes a green wall you see a brown wall!
Which wavelength of light is absorbed the least by pigments in the spinach extract?
Blue-green. Most plants appear green because they do no absorb green pigments.
What color object will reflect green light when white light falls on it?
An object that appears green reflects green light while absorbing other wavelengths. This happens when the object has specific pigments that reflect wavelengths in the green region of the spectrum, causing our eyes to perceive it as green.
Describe what happens when light strikes a green leaf?
When light strikes a green leaf, the leaf absorbs red and blue wavelengths of light while reflecting green wavelengths. The absorbed light is used in the process of photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, which the plant uses for energy and growth. The green pigment chlorophyll in the leaf is responsible for absorbing the light and carrying out photosynthesis.
What pigments absorb light energy during Photosynthesis?
chlorophylls a and b absorb blue and green light.
