What is the main photopigment utilized by plants during photosynthesis?
The main photo-pigment utilized by plants during photosynthesis is chlorophyll a.However,there are other photo pigments such as chlorophyll b and accessory photo pigments like Beta-carotene, and xanthophylls.
Do carotene's help in the capture of sunlight during photosynthesis?
Yes they do, carotenes have a different wavelength peak of light absorption than chlorophyll pigments. They are classified as secondary pigments.
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.
Why are pigments such as chorophyll needed for photosynthesis?
Pigments like chlorophyll, capture light energy which is used for the first step of photosynthesis, the light dependent reaction.
Who can photosynthesis?
People cannot photosynthesis... in Autumn when tree leaves turn different colors so that is photosynthesis (In Autumn, the chlorophyll pigments break down and reveal the presence of accessory pigments)
Why are pigments needed for photosynthesis?
Pigments are needed because they are useful to autotrophs and plants. Pigments are used to capture the sunlight's energy.
What do pigments absorb during photosynthesis?
light energy
Chlorophyll and other pigment are used in photosynthesis to capture?
Chlorophyll and other plant pigments are present during photosynthesis. These pigments make absorption of sunlight capable.
What substance that absorbs light?
Chlorophyll pigments absorb light during photosynthesis.
What does a thylakoid do during photosynthesis?
Energy is transferred to electrons in cholophyll and other pigments in the choloroplasts
What is the main photopigment utilized by plants during photosynthesis?
The main photo-pigment utilized by plants during photosynthesis is chlorophyll a.However,there are other photo pigments such as chlorophyll b and accessory photo pigments like Beta-carotene, and xanthophylls.
Pigments that expand the range of wavelengths for photosynthesis are called?
Antenna Pigments
Do carotene's help in the capture of sunlight during photosynthesis?
Yes they do, carotenes have a different wavelength peak of light absorption than chlorophyll pigments. They are classified as secondary pigments.
How do you do photosynthesis?
People cannot perform photosynthesis, in Autumn when tree leaves change colors that is what photosynthesis is. In Autumn, the chlorophyll pigments break down and reveal the presence of accessory pigments.
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.
What pigments absorb light energy during Photosynthesis?
chlorophylls a and b absorb blue and green light.
Store foods or pigments?
Actually, the organelle chlorophyll, stores food and pigments collected by the sun during photosynthesis. Resoure: Learning about it in biology.
