The chlorophyll molecules that exists within photosystem II and I are responsible for capturing sunlight for electrons to use the energy to enter an electron transport chain.

∙ 10y agoYes. Everything absorbs at least some light. No known physical object or substance is perfectly reflective or transparent. An object or material that did not absorb any light at all would be a perfect mirror, reflecting absolutely all light that hits it, or it would be invisible, with all light passing through it unabsorbed, or it would appear to be an indistinct blob as light refracts through it without being absorbed.

Contains the green pigment that absorbs light?
Chloroplasts contain the green pigment chlorophyll
Which pigment absorbs red and far red light in plants?
chlorophyll pigment consists of antenna and reaction centres to absorb light energy.there are two regions in this pigment that is-pigment system I which absorbs far red light at 700nm and another is pigment system II which absorbs red light at 680nm.
What is the green compound in plants that absorbs light?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs and uses sunlight to manufacture simple sugars through the process of photosynthesis.
What is the name of the substane that makes plants green?
The substance that gives plants their green color is chlorophyll. This pigment absorbs mostly blue and red light, but reflects green light. It is the substance that allows plants to perform photosynthesis, using the light it absorbs to power the process of transforming water and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates.
Why is the Light from your plants Green?
plant leaves consist of chlorophyll pigments. pigment absorbs particular wavelength for the energy production blue, orange other wavelength light absorbed by pigments but not green light. green light not absorbed so it reflected back. our eyes detect the reflected green light so plants light green.
Colored substance that absorbs or reflects light?
Pigments absorb certain colors of light, and reflect others. For example, chlorophyll is the pigment in plants which absorbs red and violet light, and relects green. This is why many plants appear green.
Colored chemical compound in plants that absorbs light?
pigment Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants. Its function is to absorb light for photosynthesis.
What is chloroplhyll?
A green pigment that all plants have. It absorbs light to provide energy for photosynthesis
Contains the green pigment that absorbs light?
Chloroplasts contain the green pigment chlorophyll
What pigment absorbs light energy when photosynthese begins?
The green pigment in the leave
What is the name of the green pigment in the chloroplasts?
We call it chlorophyll. It is a green pigment.
Which pigment absorbs red and far red light in plants?
chlorophyll pigment consists of antenna and reaction centres to absorb light energy.there are two regions in this pigment that is-pigment system I which absorbs far red light at 700nm and another is pigment system II which absorbs red light at 680nm.
What is the green compound in plants that absorbs light?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs and uses sunlight to manufacture simple sugars through the process of photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll absorbs all colors of light except?
Green, the reason chlorophyll is known as a green pigment is because it absorbs all wavelengths of light but reflects green light.
A plant's green color is due to the presence of which organelle?
Plants are green because they have green chloroplasts (organelles that carry out photosynthesis). But why are Chloroplasts green? Chloroplasts are green because they contain the green pigment chlorophyll in their thylakoid membranes. Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs red and blue light.
Plants look green because chlorophyll does what to green light?
You may not know it, but sunlight is actually a mixture of all the colors of the rainbow. Chlorophyll absorbs most of colors in light but not green. plants look green because chlorophyll reflects green light.Read more: Why_does_chlorophyll_make_a_plant_look_green
What pigment reflects green light and absorbs other colors of light to provide energy for photosynthesis?
