What is chlorophyll responsible for?
It is the part of a molecule that is responsible for its color. When a molecule absorbs a wavelength of visible light and reflects or transmits others, this is when the molecule's color will appear.
Why do green plants need chorophy11?
Chlorophy11-is a molecule in choroplasts that absorbs some of the energy in visible light.(Biology Textbook)
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.
What absorbs light in the plant?
No
What happens when light hits a pigment?
When a chlorophyll molecule absorbs a photon of light, Photons strike the "antenna" of the chlorophyll molecule. This causes electrons in the photo-reaction centers that are attached to the antennas to become excited and move to a higher energy level. That's photoexcitation. The valence electrons in Magnesium (part of the chlorophyl molecule) jump to an excited state.

What happen to a molecule when it absorbs uv light?
When it absorbs UV light, it decomposes. It also replenishes it.
What is the pigement?
Pigment is a molecule that absorbs light -Sasha Muy :)
What part of the chlorophyll molecule absorbs light?
Chlorophyll does not aborbs light itself, it only absorbs light photonic energy to trigger chemical reaction.
When chlorophyll absorbs light energy ATP is made and what other energy carrying molecule?
NADPH
Why are light and cholorphyll needed for photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll is the molecule that absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to synthesis carbohydrates from CO2 and water.
Why do green plants need chorophy11?
Chlorophy11-is a molecule in choroplasts that absorbs some of the energy in visible light.(Biology Textbook)
Colored substance that absorbs or reflects light?
Pigments absorb certain colors of light, and reflect others. For example, chlorophyll is the pigment in plants which absorbs red and violet light, and relects green. This is why many plants appear green.
Is a bloom is a substance that absorbs light?

A molecule that contains atoms enabling it to reflect light is called a pigment?
A molecule that contains atoms enabling it to reflect light is called a pigment.
What happens when an object absorbs light?
when an object absorbs light we canoot see light from the other side
