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 are the three main photosynthetic pigments?
Chlorophyll A, Chlorophyll B, and Carotenoids
In a cell where is the site of photosynthesis?
photosynthesis happens insidethe orgenelle, Chloroplast. the main ingredetents for photosynthesis are H20(water) CO2 (carbon dioxide) and sunlight
What is the main element that is found in coal?
The main element in coal is carbon.
Is leaves turning color in the fall a chemical or physical change?
I don't know the scientific equation, but I do know that the tree withdraws it's sugars from the leaves, during the autumn and winter to make sure that there is enough for the main tree. The withdrawal of the sugars is a physical action, but it is a chemical one as well. The chlorophyll that was made thru the sunlight on the leaves for photosynthesis. This stops when the weather turns colder and there is less sunlight causing the leaves lessen the amount to chlorophyll they can make, signaling to the tree to cut off the sugar supply to the leaves. I'd say it's both. Also, You have witnessed a spectacular chemical change if you have seen the leaves on a tree change from green to bright yellow, red, or orange. But, it is not a change from a green pigment to a red pigment, as you might think. Pigments are chemicals that give leaves their color. In autumn, however, changes in temperature and rainfall amounts cause trees to stop producing chlorophyll. The chlorophyll already in the leaves undergoes a chemical change into colorless chemicals.Where do the bright fall colors come from? The pigments that produce fall colors have been present in the leaves all along. However, in the summer, chlorophyll is present in large enough amounts to mask these pigments. In the fall, when chlorophyll production stops, the bright pigments become visible.
What is the main pigment found in chloroplasts which make the plant green?
That is the chlorophyll.It is the primary pigment
What is the green pigment that is found in plants?
Chlorophyll in chloroplasts is responsible for the green pigment. The chlorophyll reflects green light.
Which substance is a green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs energy for photo system?
Chlorophyll
What are the different pigments in plants?
The different pigments that are present in plants:1) Chlorophyll a- Is the pigment directly involved in harvesting light energy. It absorbs blue-green light.2) Chorophyll b- Absorbs yellow-green wave lengths.3) Caroteniods- Absorbs blue/violet, and reflects Orange.4) Xanthophylls- Absorbs yellow pigments.5) Anthocyanins- This is found in the vacuoles. Absorbs red, violet, and blue.All other the pigments are accessory pigments because they pass their absorbed energy to chlorophylla or they play an protective role.
Besides chlorophyll what other pigments are found in chloroplasts?
These other pigments are called accessory pigments (red, orange, yellow, brown).
What substance is a green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs energy for photo system?
They are the chlorophyll. They are the main photosynthetic pigment
Where do find the pigment chlorophyll within a plant cell?
chlorophyll a and carotenoids are the main pigments found in almost all plant and other type of pigment are also present
Explain why a leaf containing chloroplasts look green in color?
Because they contain photosynthetic pigments. Main pigments are the chlorophylls.
What is the name given to areas in plant cells that store starch and pigment molecules?
The areas in plants that store starch and pigment molecules are organelles. The main organelles are plastids. Chloroplasts are photosynthesizing plastids. Chromoplasts are plastids that store pigments, though some pigments, such as pink, purple and anthocyanins are usually stored in the vacuole of cells. Amyoplasts are plastids that store starches.
What is the function of chlorolast?
Chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis. They contain the main photosynthetic pigment, chlorophyll.
What are the main pigments found in plants?
The majority of coloured pigments that are found within in plants are contained chloroplasts found inside the outer cells of the leaves and stems of the plants. The most common of these is Chlorophyll. Other groups of pigments are responsible for the color of flowers and the "autumn colors" associated with many deciduous plant leaves. See related questions below.
What is the main photosynthetic structure of the plant?
Chloroplasts are the structures used for photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and algae (plantlike protists). Chloroplasts contain a green pigment called chlorophyll, which do the chemical processes of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is what gives leaves their green color.
