Photosynthetic pigments in plants are responsible for the capture of the energy produced. These pigments are located in the chlorophylls, namely chlorophyll A.
Visual pigments are located in the outer segments of rod and cone cells in the retina. Rod cells contain a pigment called rhodopsin, while cone cells contain different types of pigments that are specialized for detecting different colors.
In the thylakoids in the grana which are located inside the chloroplasts in a plant cell inside of a plant, and some fungi.
Anthocyanin pigments are primarily located in the vacuoles of plant cells. These water-soluble pigments are stored in the cell's vacuolar fluid, where they contribute to the coloration of flowers, fruits, and leaves. They play a role in attracting pollinators and seed dispersers, as well as providing protection against UV light and oxidative stress.
Pigment cells (melanocytes) are found in the basal layer of the epidermis.
Chlorophyll is the molecule that absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to synthesis carbohydrates from CO2 and water.
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.
Photosynthetic pigments in bacteria are primarily located in the thylakoid membranes, which are structures embedded in the cytoplasmic membrane. In some bacteria, such as cyanobacteria, these pigments include chlorophyll and carotenoids, which facilitate the capture of light energy for photosynthesis. In other photosynthetic bacteria, such as purple and green sulfur bacteria, different types of bacteriochlorophyll are used. These pigments enable the bacteria to harness light energy and convert it into chemical energy.
Photosynthesis is the process that gathers the sun's energy using light-absorbing molecules called pigments, such as chlorophyll. These pigments are located in the chloroplasts of plant cells and capture sunlight, which is then converted into chemical energy to produce glucose and oxygen.
