Chlorophyll: Reaction with heat depends on pH.
In a basic solution (pH 9), chlorophyll is stable, and
in an acidic solution (pH 3) it is unstable. When
heated, the cell membrane of the plant deteriorates,
releasing acids, which decrease the pH. This results
in the magnesium atom being displaced by two
hydrogen ions, resulting in the formation of olivebrown pheophytin complex. This cell degradation
during heating also makes the chlorophyll more
susceptible to photo-degradation.
*When chlorophyll undergoes heat process, it will turn dull olive brown.
stop cheating cheaterrrr!!!
pigments .
Rods and cones contain the pigments that absorb light.
Pigments like chlorophyll, capture light energy which is used for the first step of photosynthesis, the light dependent reaction.
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. ^_^
It is sun light converting to the chemical energy. Pigments are absorbing light.
visual pigments.
Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments in chloroplasts
Photosynthetic pigments capture light energy.Examples are chlorophyll,caratinoids etc.
light energy
It Is sun light. pigments absorb sun light.

they absorb light and convert it into chemical energy
By using photosynthetic pigments. Primary pigments are the chlorophylls

It is about pigments. they are absorbing sun light.
