There are a four main photosynthetic pigments in green plants. Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotene and xanthophyll. These all absorb different areas of the spectrum therefore allowing the plant maximum absorption of light from the sun, and hence photosynthesise effectively.

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.
Which of these chemicals is a major photosynthetic pigment in plants?
The most important photosynthetic plant pigment is the chlorophyll because it it what helps reflect the light energy off a leaf making the leaf appear green to the human eye
What is the principal pigment in photosynthetic organisms?
Chloroplast.
Which organelle contains the photosynthetic pigments?
Mostly the choloroplasts which contains chlorophyll, but chromatin, another photosynthetic pigment is stored in the chromoplasts.
What types of organisms use photosynthesis?
all green plants and primitive organisms like cyanobacteria do photosynthesis using chlorophyll pigment
What chemicals are a major photosynthetic pigment in plants?
chlorophyll
What is a chemicals is a major photosynthetic pigment in plants?
Balls
Do animals have photosynthetic pigment?
no only plants have chlorophyll
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.
The primary light-gathering pigment in photosynthetic bacteria and plants is what?
Chlorophyll is the primary pigment in plants. It gives the green color to plants. Its main function is to help in the synthesis of carbohydrates from carbon-di-oxide by the process of photosynthesis.
What is the green pigment that is found in plants?
Chlorophyll in chloroplasts is responsible for the green pigment. The chlorophyll reflects green light.
What contains the pigment in plants?
Photosynthetic pigments in plants are responsible for the capture of the energy produced. These pigments are located in the chlorophylls, namely chlorophyll A.
Which of these chemicals is a major photosynthetic pigment in plants?
The most important photosynthetic plant pigment is the chlorophyll because it it what helps reflect the light energy off a leaf making the leaf appear green to the human eye
What is the photosynthetic pigment that is found in thylakoids?
That pigment is chlorophyll.
What color would plants be if chlorophyll was gone?
They would be whichever color corresponds to their dominant photosynthetic pigment. Because chlorophyll absorbs green light the least plants containing chlorophyll appear green. Some plants are red, orange, and even purple because they have a photosynthetic pigment that dominates over chlorophyll.
Is chlorophyll produced during photosynthesis?
No chlorophyll is the main green photosynthetic pigment in plants that produces glucose during photosynthesis
Is chlorohpyll an ATP molecule?
no, its a photosynthetic pigment which supports an electron transport chain which eventually leads to the synthesis of ATP in plants
