What else can I help you with?
What are found only in plants that contain pigments and food?
chloroplasts
Do plants which have lighter pigments contain lower concentrations of chloraphyll?
yes.
Do all plants have green pigments?
No, not all plants have green pigments. While chlorophyll is the most common pigment that gives plants their green color, some plants may have other pigments like red, yellow, or purple. These pigments can help the plants absorb different wavelengths of light for photosynthesis.
Are plastids plants or animals?
Plastids are cells found in plants. They mainly contain pigments beneficial to the plant, such as those used in photosynthesis.
What do the chromoplasts do?
Chromoplasts contain pigments other than green for example they may contain carotene, xanthophyll or any other pigment which color the plants.
What are Organelles containing pigments in the cells of plants?
Chloroplasts are the organelles that contain pigments in plant cells, notably chlorophyll. These pigments are essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy to produce food. Other pigments found in plant cells include carotenoids and anthocyanins, which contribute to the characteristic colors of flowers and fruits.
Is chromophyll pigment present in plants?
No, chromophyll is not a known pigment. The primary pigments in plants responsible for photosynthesis are chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b.
Why do plants contain other pigments besides chlorophyll?
Plants contain other pigments besides chlorophyll to enhance their ability to absorb light and protect against damage from excess sunlight. Carotenoids, for example, capture light in different wavelengths and contribute to photosynthesis, while also providing photoprotection. Additionally, pigments like anthocyanins can deter herbivores and attract pollinators, playing a crucial role in plant reproduction and survival. This diversity in pigments allows plants to adapt to various environmental conditions and optimize their energy conversion.
Do chloroplasts have thylakoids?
yes. it contains chlorophyll, carotenoids phycobilins, and anthocyannins.
What are the stacks thylakoids in chloroplasts called?
They are called granna. They contain chlorophyll pigments.
What are stocks of thylakoids found in chloroplast called?
They are called granna. They contain photosynthetic pigments
What organelle contains chlorophyll a green pigment that traps energy from sunlight and gives plants their green color?
They are the chloroplasts. They contain the pigments
