The pigments are responsible for capturing the light energy from the sun and converting it to chemical energy. This is the first step of photosynthesis, so the pigments are responsible for initiating photosynthesis.

How are pigments associated with photosynthesis?
Pigments attract light and/or reflect the color(s) that are not absorbed by the chlorophyll.
What pigments do plants use to carry out photosynthesis and what do these pigments do specifically for the process?
Chlorophyll a & b, caroten and xanthophyll are photosynthetic pigments used by plants. These pigments capture various wavelengths of solar radiation for energy transformation.
What does a thylakoid do during photosynthesis?
Energy is transferred to electrons in cholophyll and other pigments in the choloroplasts
What drugs cause photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a biological process that occurs in plants, algae, and some bacteria to convert sunlight into energy. Drugs do not cause photosynthesis; it is a natural process regulated by specific enzymes and pigments in the organism's cells.
What is a reactant in the general photosynthesis equation?
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants manufacture their food. The reactants involved in this process are carbon dioxide, water and light energy.
What plant pigment are involved in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll, carotenoids, phycobilins and xanthophylls are the pigments involved in photosynthesis .Chlorophyll is the name used for several related pigments found in plants, they are used in photosynthesis.
Are all pigments found in plants involved in photosynthesis?
No. All pigments found in plants are not involved in photosynthesis. In fact, the greatest variety of colored pigments are found in flower pedals and are used to attract pollinators among other things.
Which pigments in plant is engaged in photosynthesis?
chlorophyll is the pigment present in the plant that is resposible for the process of photosynthesis
What groups of molecules are involved in photosynthesis and the trapping of energy?
It is about pigments. they are absorbers of light.
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.
How are pigments associated with photosynthesis?
Pigments attract light and/or reflect the color(s) that are not absorbed by the chlorophyll.
What pigments do plants use to carry out photosynthesis and what do these pigments do specifically for the process?
Chlorophyll a & b, caroten and xanthophyll are photosynthetic pigments used by plants. These pigments capture various wavelengths of solar radiation for energy transformation.
Why is it beneficial for a plant to have many different pigments?
The pigments in a plant are vital to the process of photosynthesis. This process helps the plant make its own food using the energy from the sun. The variety of pigments allows the plant to grab more energy from the sun.
What cellular organelle is in invovled in the process of photosynthesis?
Chloroplasts are the organelles involved in photosynthesis.
What is responsible for capturing the light in photosynthesis?
pigments (original answer) Technically whoever wrote pigments is right, BUT it is the chloroplasts in the Thykaloid Membranes that capture the light and the process goes from there.
What does a thylakoid do during photosynthesis?
Energy is transferred to electrons in cholophyll and other pigments in the choloroplasts
