- Plant cells have an organelle (a feature) inside them called chloroplasts. These chloroplasts contain GREEN PIGMENTS called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light in order for photosynthesis to take place as:
Carbon dioxide + Water -l-i-g-h-t-> Glucose + oxygen
The green light is reflected giving a plant its green color.

- Although photosynthesis is performed differently by different species, the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by proteins called reaction centers that contain green chlorophyll pigments.
- In plants, these proteins are held inside organelles called chloroplasts, which are most abundant in leaf cells, while in bacteria they are embedded in the plasma membrane.

Which pigment is directly involved in the light reactions of photosynthesis?
The pigment directly involved is the green pigment called 'chlorophyll' and is found in the chloroplats.
What is the pigment in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll A and Chlorophyll B, beta carotene, and xanthophyll.
What is a green colored substance that helps plants use sunlight for photosynthesis?
chlorophyllThe "green substance" is chlorophyll, a green pigment found in the chloroplasts in a leaf. Chlorophyll traps sunlight for photosynthesis- a plant's way of making food for itself using sunlight.Photosynthesis equation:sunlightcarbon dioxide + water -------------------> oxygen + glucosechlorophyll6CO2 + 6H2O ----------------> 6O2 + C6H12O6
What is the primary pigment in photosynthesis?
The primary photosynthetic pigment that is found in plants is Chlorophyll A. Chlorophyll A is responsible for giving the plants a green appearance.
What molecules absorb light?
All molecules will absorb light to a greater or lesser degree
What pigment does a green leaf contain?
chlorophyll is the green pigment which is necessary for photosynthesis to occur Chlorophyll
Which substance in a chloroplast is a green pigment that absorbs energy for photosynthesis?
The green pigment is called "chlorophyll".
What is the pigment in it that does photosynthesis?
From what i remember, chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that carries out the process of photosynthesis.
What is the plant pigment is necessary for photosynthesis?
chlorophyll
Is chlorophyll a pigment?
Yes, chlorophyll is a green pigment which has a role in photosynthesis.
What is the green pigment associated with photosynthesis?
Chloroplasts
What is the green pigment used for photosynthesis?
chlorophyll
Is pigment of leaves necessary for photosynthesis?
yes because if the plants have no pigment ,they will became white.
What pigment is needed for photosynthesis?
chlorophyll, It makes the leaves green and is needed for photosynthesis
What is the green pigment in plants vital to photosynthesis?
= Chlorophyll =
What contains green pigment?
Plants NEED it to do photosynthesis.
What are some photosynthesis cells?
chloroplasts are the photosynthesis cells that contain the green pigment chlorophyl.
