No. But they have a degree of hydrophobic charachteristics. This allows them to be held within the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts.

Which organelle contains the photosynthetic pigments?

Mostly the choloroplasts which contains chlorophyll, but chromatin, another photosynthetic pigment is stored in the chromoplasts.


Plant cell organelles that contain photosynthetic pigments are 1chloroplasts 2ribosomes 3chromosomes 4 cell wall?

Chloroplasts contain photosynthetic pigments, such as chlorophyll, that are essential for photosynthesis to occur in plant cells. Ribosomes are the cellular organelles responsible for protein synthesis in both plant and animal cells. Chromosomes are structures that contain the genetic material of a cell and are located in the nucleus of plant cells. The cell wall is a rigid structure found outside the cell membrane in plant cells that provides support and protection.


What pigments do plants use to carry out photosynthesis and what do these pigments do specifically for the process?

Plants use chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b pigments to carry out photosynthesis. These pigments absorb light energy and transfer it to the reaction center of the photosystem, where it drives the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process is essential for plants to produce their own food and release oxygen into the atmosphere.


Where is the chlorophyll located in the chloroplast?

In the Thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast


Cluster of pigments and proteins that absorbs light?

A photosystem is a cluster of pigments and proteins found in chloroplasts and photosynthetic bacteria that absorbs light energy during photosynthesis. The absorbed light energy is used to drive the process of converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
