What is the difference between accessory pigments and chlorophyll?

∙ 12y ago
Carotenoids are mostly yellow-red-orange-brown in colour, chlorophyll is green. Carotenoids serve two main purposes in plants - protection from exces sunlight (a bit like sun-screen), and they can absord some sunlight which they then transfer to chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absords sunlight and is involved in photosynthesis.

∙ 13y agoThe relationship of the pigments are the plastids.
Chlorophyll is green plastid while other chromoplasts range from yellow to red.
Leuocoplasts are white plastids.
They use the sunlight for photolysis and other chemical synthesis.

∙ 12y agoChlorophyll is specifically a green pigment. Accessory pigments cannot transfer light energy directly to photosynthetic processes; Chlorophyll is what begins the process of photosynthesis.

Chlorophyll a and b are found in a specific photosystems which photosystem contains chlorophyll a and which contains chlorophyll b?
I have studied photosyn. and to the best of my knowledge chl. a and b are in both photosystems. The difference between absorption in photosystem II (p680) and I (p700) is caused by the amount of a (best at 450-500nm) or b (best at 470-600nm).Photosyn. I should have more b and photosyn. should have more a.
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'.
Where is the chlorophyll in plant cells located?
Chlorophyll and other pigments are a part of thylakoid membrane.
What happens when a photon from sunlight strikes a chlorophyll a molecule?
When a photon strikes a pigment molecule such as chlorophyll, the energy from the photon is passed to the chlorophyll. This energy then continues to pass between molecules until it hits the reaction center, where the reaction of photosynthesis' glucose creation occurs.
What is the relation between the electromagnetic spectrum of solar radiation and the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll?
Solar radiation peaks in energy in the mid-yellow range. Chlorphyll's absorption also peaks in this range. It is a demonstration of the adaption of plants to optimizing their production efficiency.
What is the relationship between pigments and chlorophyII?
Chlorophyll is a pigment.
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.
What is the difference between primary pigment and accessory pigment?
The main difference is the wavelengths of light that they absorb and reflect, this allows plants to make use of more wavelengths of light. Primary pigments also create electrons directly, however I can't seem to find what the accessory pigments do instead...anyways, hope that helps
What is the relationship between chlorophyll a and carotenoids?
In leaves, the carotenoids are usually masked by the chlorophylls. In the autumn, as the quantity of chlorophyll in the leaf declines, the carotenoids become visible and produce the yellows and reds of autumn foliage.

What is the difference between a bag and an accessory?
An accessory is like a necklace or a bracelet, so jewelry. A bag is a container you can put stuff in.
What is the difference between mixing colored lights and mixing pigments?
biggest difference is that in light- the primary colors are red blue and green. Whereas in paint pigments its red blue and yellow
What is the difference between essential and accessory minerals?
essential mineral is a such mineral on which we assign the name to a rock.and the accessory minerals present in lesser abundance.
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'.
