What are the uses of green pigments?
A pigment is a material that changes the color of reflected or transmitted light as the result of wavelength-selective absorption. Green Pigments in plants, mainly Chlorophyll is an extremely important biomolecule, critical in Photosynthesis, which allows plants to obtain energy from light. It absorbs mostly blue light and then red light from the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum and reflects Green Light.So, all the plants are green in color and it got a name Green pigment.The green spectrum is dominated by copper phthalocyanine pigments. The common method to reach green is by mixing yellows and blues, the desired brightness and economics being the two main factors determining the best approach. Inorganic pigments play a comparatively insignificant role.
What are the roles of chloroplast and chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
The role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis is the absorption of light allowing the plant to obtain energy from the light. Chloroplasts are the organelles in the plant that store the chlorophyll.
What does green pigments help plants do?
Green pigments do not help plants do anything. The reason plants are green is because what they are made out off can not absorb green wavelength light, so it reflects it. Edited answer: The green pigments help plants do photosynthesis. The green wave length of sunlight reflected has little role to play in photosynthesis. The red, violet, blue, orange and yellow spectrum of light are responsible to bring about photolysis of water to initiate photosynthesis in the chloroplasts.
Where is ciliated epithelium found and what role does they play?
It helps with absorption and mobility
What does the liver play role in protein metabolism?
The liver has a central role in lipid metabolism. The liver produces bile, which is required for efficient intestinal fat absorption. The post-absorptive stages of metabolism occur from the lipid absorption in the intestines.
Is the major light-absorbing pigment in plants is chlorophyll?
Yes, although there are also other (albeit minor) pigments that also contribute to photosynthesis
What is the role of carotenoids in a photosytem?
Carotenoids are colored pigments found in plant cells such as in brown algae, in carrots and more. They are accessory pigments which do not do photosynthesis. They transmit energetic to chlorophyll for the process of photosynthesis.
Which best explains the role of plant pigments in photosynthesis?
They absorb light energy.

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.
Role of pigments and photosystems in the capture of light energy?
thylakoid membrane The photosystems that capture light are located on the thylakoid membrane. The thylakoids are stacked to form grana.
What are accesory pigments?
In plants, usually pigment is more important in the process of fertilization than any other. Pigment will attract different insects, birds, or other animals which aids in the transport of pollen to other plants for cross fertilization. However, for plants like the venus fly trap, color attracts prey.
What role do plant pigments play in the process of photosynthesis?
Pigments are able to absorb specific wavelengths of light which power photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, which is green, absorbs all wavelengths except green. Each photon excites an electron in the light harvesting complexes of a photosystem in a chlorophyll molecule, eventually producing ATPs. Other pigments will be a different color and will be able to absorb other wavelengths, maximizing energy absorbency when the sun's rays change.

Role of hormones in sex accessory gland?
anal
What is the role of chlorophyll a?
Chlorophyll is an important biomolecule. Its role is critical in photosynthesis, the process that allows plants to absorb energy from light.
