pigment is any substance that absorbs light. The color of the pigment comes from the wavelengths of light reflected (in other words, those not absorbed). Chlorophyll, the green pigment common to all photosynthetic cells, absorbs all wavelengths of visible light except green, which it reflects to be detected by our eyes. Black pigments absorb all of the wavelengths that strike them. White pigments/lighter colors reflect all or almost all of the energy striking them. Pigments have their own characteristic absorption spectra, the absorption pattern of a given pigment. the Light Dependent Processes (Light Reactions) light strikes chlorophyll a in such a way as to excite electrons to a higher energy state.
BTW this is a Yahoo answers response so give the other person credit. :)

What would happen if a plant has a mutation and did not produce pigment?
If a plant could not produce pigment then it would not be able to carry out photosynthesis. The photosynthetic pigment in the plant captures the light energy from the sun and is able to convert it to chemical energy. On the microscopic level, electrons are excited due to the energy of the photons and they reach a high energy state. Once these electrons fall back to ground state they release energy. The energy is focused on chlorophyll "a" which has the ability to lose electrons due to its structure. The lost electrons move through a transport chain and end up reducing NADP+ and indirectly help produce ATP which are needed in the Calvin cycle to help produce glucose. So without pigments, nothing would be able to capture the light energy and initiate photosynthesis.
When a pigment molecule absorbs a photon one of its electrons?
the outer electrons which are weakly attracte towards nucleus of a pigment can absorb a photon and gets exited to its unstable higher levels. It releases more energy when it gets stabilized to its normal state. This energy can be trapped by the electron of next pigment molecules. In this way the energy gets transfered from one to other.
Which term means the state of having two different alleles for the same trait?
Two different alleles for the same trait are heterozygous. No, Its homozygous. This answer is incorrect as homo = same.
Which term mean the state of having two identical alleles for the same trait?
Homozygous.
What microscope takes advantage of of refractive indexes of cell structure?
The microscope that takes advantage of differences in the refractive indexes of cell structure is the phase contrast microscope. The microscope that is used to see internal structure of cells in a natural state is also a phase contrast microscope.
What is one advantage of having the Senate elected by state legislatures?
It gives citizens a strong voice in elections
Light excites in photosynthetic pigments?
Light excites two sets of photosynthetic pigments. These are photosystem 1 (PS1) and photosystem 2 (PS2). PS1 is excited by photons at about 700 nanometers, while PS2 is excited at about 680 nanometers.

Can you collect unemployment for having chickenpox?
No, unemployment is reserved for individuals who lose their jobs. If you live in a State in which you are provided with Sick pay you may take advantage of that if you miss work due to an illness.
Why is chlorophyll called vital pigment?
Chlorophyll is a vital pigment because without it there would be almost no life on the earth. In photosynthesis, light energy strikes the pigment chlorophyll which excites electrons to a higher energy state, whose energy then undergoes a series of reactions, eventually producing glucose and oxygen.
When you state in advantage how and why something will happen what are you making?
A Prediction :)
Which city state seemed to have the geographical advantage?
Athens
Which city-state seemed to have the geographical advantage?
Athens
What type of state would enjoy an advantage in the senate?
Each state has 2 Senators, and is represented equally. States only have an advantage in the House (of Representatives) where larger population states have more representatives. The only way a state may have an advantage, is when say an agriculture state has a Senator who is chairman of the agriculture committee. Or a state with coal mines has a chairman of a mining or energy committee
