What is the green pigments in the leaves that absorbs light energy from the sun?
That would be "Chlorophyll".
What are the different pigments in plants?
The different pigments that are present in plants:1) Chlorophyll a- Is the pigment directly involved in harvesting light energy. It absorbs blue-green light.2) Chorophyll b- Absorbs yellow-green wave lengths.3) Caroteniods- Absorbs blue/violet, and reflects Orange.4) Xanthophylls- Absorbs yellow pigments.5) Anthocyanins- This is found in the vacuoles. Absorbs red, violet, and blue.All other the pigments are accessory pigments because they pass their absorbed energy to chlorophylla or they play an protective role.
Colored substance that absorbs or reflects light?
Pigments absorb certain colors of light, and reflect others. For example, chlorophyll is the pigment in plants which absorbs red and violet light, and relects green. This is why many plants appear green.
What are the functions of accessory pigments?
Accessory pigments are light-absorbing compounds that work with chlorophyll a, which include chlorophyll b, c, and d. Also, there are non-chlorophyll accessory pigments including carotenoids which also absorb light and transfer it to chlorophyll. Some accessory proteins, like carotenoids, also work as antioxidants or scatter excess light energy.
What pigment traps the energy for photosynthesis?
There is a wide range of pigments that are used for photosynthesis. However, chlorophyll is responsible for using obtained light energy to excite electrons to move through the transport chain. Many pigments are only capable of transferring energy to chlorophyll, but they are important because they increase the spectrum of the frequencies of light of which the organism can use to photosynthesize. These pigments are called accessory pigments. For a more detailed explanation of these pigments, view the attached link below.
