In very general terms, chlorophyll pigments capture light energy. Depending on what kind of chlorophyll they are and if they are in Photosystem I or Photosystem II they will have different specific functions.

In a photosystem clusters of chlorophyll a chlorophyllb and carotenoid pigments function most like what?
an antanae
Which substance is a green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs energy for photo system?
Chlorophyll
Explain the function of the accessory pigments?
well, accessory pigments include chlorophyllb. It absorbs energy that chlorophyll a does not absorb. And it also helps enable plants to capture more of the energy in light. ^_^
What function do photosynthetic pigments other than chlorophyll serve?
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.
Energy is pass around chlorophyll molecules until it reaches a specific chlorophyll molecule called?
Chlorophyll is arranged in clusters called photosystem. It is like a upside down cone. It is made from secondary chlorophyll pigments surrounding a reaction center(primary pigment) at the tip of the cone. The secondary pigments absorb the light energy and pass it to the reaction center.
What color are chlorophyll pigments?
Chlorophyll pigments are green.
In a photosystem clusters of chlorophyll a chlorophyllb and carotenoid pigments function most like what?
an antanae
How do accessory pigments differ from chlorophyll a?
Accessory Pigments absorb energy that chlorophyll a does not absorb.
Besides chlorophyll what other pigments are found in chloroplasts?
These other pigments are called accessory pigments (red, orange, yellow, brown).
What masked by green pigments in the spring and summer?
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.
Why are the leafs are green?
The leaves are green because of the chlorophyll pigments.

How are pigments involved in the photosynthesis process?
The pigments are responsible for capturing the light energy from the sun and converting it to chemical energy. This is the first step of photosynthesis, so the pigments are responsible for initiating photosynthesis.
What is the main function of chlorophyll b?
Chlorophyll A is the primary and most common Chlorophyll pigment being used by plants in the natural process of photosynthesis. There are auxiliary pigments which are Chlorophyll B, C, D and E.
