What role do plant pigments play in the process of photosynthesis?

Pigments are able to absorb specific wavelengths of light which power photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, which is green, absorbs all wavelengths except green. Each photon excites an electron in the light harvesting complexes of a photosystem in a chlorophyll molecule, eventually producing ATPs. Other pigments will be a different color and will be able to absorb other wavelengths, maximizing energy absorbency when the sun's rays change.


How many chlorophyll pigments present in chloroplast?

Chlorophyll is NOT the only pigment contained in a plant cell because all chlorophyll does is give the plant its green color. so do you think tat the only pigment in plant cells would be hte one that gives the plant its color? I DONT THINK SO. there are many pigments in plant cells

Why does a leaf appear green when a person looks at it?
