This pigment is chlorophyll. It is struck by photons of light which excites it's electrons into a higher energy level where they enter photosystem II.

What photosynthetic pigment is essential for the process of photosynthesis to occur?
One or more of these known pigments is required to capture the energy of light and drive photosynthesis: Chlorophyll, Xanthophyll, Carotene, Phaeophytin, Phycobilin, Bacteriochlorophyll or Bacteriorhodopsin.
What is light harvesting?
light harvesting is a set of photosynthetic pigment molecules that absorb light and channel the energy to the photosynthetic reaction centre, where the light reactions of photosynthesis occur.
Why are green pigment chlorophyll necessary for photosynthesis to occur?
chlorophyl is essential for photosynthesis to occur because they act as solar cell by trapping the sun's energy and converting it into a substance which inturn helps convert the carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose
What pigment does a green leaf contain?
chlorophyll is the green pigment which is necessary for photosynthesis to occur Chlorophyll
Which orgenelle does photosynthesis occur in?
It occurs in the chloroplasts in eukariyotes. Prokariyotes have photosynthetic filaments.
What kingdom does photosynthesis occur in?
plantAlgae and some protozoans in kingdom protista are photosynthetic. Also some bacteria in kingdom monera are photosynthetic
Does photosynthesis occur in all living plant cells?
No, many of the plants cells do photosynthesize, but not all the cells are capable of this process. The roots are a good example of non-photosynthetic cells, and you can see this by their pale color which means they have a lack of pigment (the pigment is key in photosynthesis).
Is chorophyll needed for photosynthesis to occur?
Yes of course it needs. It is the primary pigment.
Why would photosynthesis not occur in the chloroplast of a bacterium?
Bacteria do not have chloroplasts.Photosynthesis take place in photosynthetic fillaments.
Where do the reactions of photosynthesis happen?
They occur first within the cytochrome biochemical photosynthetic Enzymes that reside within the Thylacoid membrane systems that reside within the Grana and Stroma of the Chloroplasts that reside within photosynthetic Organisms.
Do photosynthesis occur in colored leaves?
Yes it is happening. But there should be Chl-b pigment.
In the photosynthesis process what trophic level occur?
Photosynthetic organisms make up the producer trophic level.
