Which substance is a green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs energy for photo system?
Chlorophyll
Explain the function of the accessory pigments?
well, accessory pigments include chlorophyllb. It absorbs energy that chlorophyll a does not absorb. And it also helps enable plants to capture more of the energy in light. ^_^
What do chloroplasts use to absorb sunlight energy?
They use photosynthetic pigments.Pigments absorb specific wave lengths.
What pigment absorbs ultraviolet light?
There are many pigments that absorb light energy. They are as follows:Carotene - an orange pigmentXanthophyll - a yellow pigmentChlorophyll a - a blue-green pigmentChlorophyll b - a yellow-green pigmentPhaeophytin - a gray pigmentThese are all/most of the pigments in a leaf that absorb light energy.!!
What pigment does chloroplast hold?
chlorophyll are the major pigments.They use thees pigments to absorb energy of light
Which components of the eye contain the pigments the absorb light energy?
The corea
How do accessory pigments differ from chlorophyll a?
Accessory Pigments absorb energy that chlorophyll a does not absorb.
What do pigments absorb during photosynthesis?
light energy
What is the function of a pigment?
they absorb light and convert it into chemical energy
What pigments absorb light energy during Photosynthesis?
chlorophylls a and b absorb blue and green light.

All about orgenelle?
Pigments in the orgenelle absorb the sun's energy, which excites the electrons.
What is the name given to colored proteins that can absorb light energy?
pigments, chromaphores
Which best explains the role of plant pigments in photosynthesis?
They absorb light energy.
Do pigments affect plant growth?
Yes, pigments can affect plant growth since plants absorb energy from the sunlight at different rates depending on the pigments each plant has.
Why certain types of algae contain pigments other then just chlorphyll?
Chlorophyll is great at absorbing blue light but not red yellow or green so in order to obtain more energy from the sun plants have other pigments that absorb more of the light spectrum.
