What molecules absorb light?
All molecules will absorb light to a greater or lesser degree
What do you call the clusters of chlorophyll molecules that capture light energy?
They are called photosystems. Photosystems are groups of chlorophyll molecules and associated proteins that work together to absorb and transfer light energy during the process of photosynthesis.
What is the name given to areas in plant cells that store starch and pigment molecules?
The areas in plants that store starch and pigment molecules are organelles. The main organelles are plastids. Chloroplasts are photosynthesizing plastids. Chromoplasts are plastids that store pigments, though some pigments, such as pink, purple and anthocyanins are usually stored in the vacuole of cells. Amyoplasts are plastids that store starches.
What is inside a mole on the skin?
A mole on the skin is made up of clusters of pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. These cells give the mole its color and can sometimes grow in a raised or flat shape on the skin.
What pigment is phagocytized by keratinocytes?
Melanocytes phagocytize melanin. First, melanocytes which are present in the lowest or basal layer of the epidermis, produce the pigment melanin. The melanin forms granules called melanosomes. After the keratinocytes take up the pigment, it clusters around the keratinocyte nucleus on the superficial side. This protects the DNA in the keratinocyte nucleus from damage due to UV radiation.
What are clusters of pigment moloecules called?
Photosystems Photosystems
Is it true that the pigments in chloroplasts are arranged in clusters known as chlorogroups?
There is no specific term "chlorogroups" used to refer to pigment clusters in chloroplasts. Pigments in chloroplasts are arranged in groups called photosystems, with chlorophyll being the main pigment involved in photosynthesis.
What organelle has light absorbing molecules?
Pigment
What is the job of pigment molecules such as chlorophyll?
gh
When hemoglobin molecules are decomposed what greenish pigment called is formed?
Biliverdin is the greenish pigment that is formed when hemoglobin molecules are decomposed. It is eventually converted to bilirubin.
How does an organic solvent dissolve pigments?
Organic solvents dissolve pigments by forming weak bonds with the pigment molecules, disrupting the intermolecular forces holding the pigment particles together. This allows the solvent molecules to surround and disperse the pigment molecules evenly throughout the solvent.
What molecules absorb light?
All molecules will absorb light to a greater or lesser degree
Does respiration require pigment molecules?
No, respiration itself does not require pigment molecules. Respiration is the process by which cells generate energy from nutrients. Pigment molecules are mainly involved in processes such as photosynthesis or oxygen transport.
When hemoglobin molecules are decomposed a greenish pigment called?
Biliverdin.
What is the relationship between the size of the pigment band and the amount of pigment in the solution?
The size of the pigment band in a chromatography experiment is directly related to the amount of pigment in the solution. A larger pigment band typically indicates a higher concentration of pigment, as more molecules are present to interact with the stationary phase. Conversely, a smaller band suggests a lower concentration, where fewer pigment molecules are able to migrate. Thus, the size of the band can serve as a visual representation of the pigment concentration in the solution.
Electrons in pigment molecules become excited when exposed to?
Ultraviolet Light
What do you call the clusters of chlorophyll molecules that capture light energy?
They are called photosystems. Photosystems are groups of chlorophyll molecules and associated proteins that work together to absorb and transfer light energy during the process of photosynthesis.
