Which organelle contains the photosynthetic pigments?
Mostly the choloroplasts which contains chlorophyll, but chromatin, another photosynthetic pigment is stored in the chromoplasts.
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'.
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.
Why is pheophytin less polar than chlorophyll?
Pheophytin and Chlorophyll are similar in there makeup. The difference between the two is that the magnesium ion is replaced by hydrogen making it less polar.

Does mitochondira and choloroplasts contain genetic material?
yes both the mitochondria and choloroplasts contain genetic material
Green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment. There is a chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b that are found in green plants. The only difference between Chlorophyll a and b is in its structure. Chlorophyll a has a -CH3 group and b has a -CHO group instead. Also, Chlorophyll is anchored to thylakoid membranes located inside a chloroplast."Chlorophyll" is the green pigment that stores sun energy while the process is called "Photosynthesis"The green pigment that traps light energy from the sun is known as chlorophyll. It is found in plant cells and it uses this trapped energy in the process of photosynthesis.
