What do you call the clusters of chlorophyll molecules that capture light energy?
The clusters are called photosystems.
What molecules absorb light?
All molecules will absorb light to a greater or lesser degree
Why do some leaves have two colors on them?
Leaves have different pigment molecules that are necessary for the process of photosynthesis. The pigment molecules reflect different colored wavelengths from the sun. For example Chlorophyll reflects green wavelengths. The reflected wavelengths reach eyes and cause the leaf to be different colors.
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 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 are clusters of pigment moloecules called?
Photosystems Photosystems

What is a photosystem?
Found in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, photosystems are clusters of chlorophyll and other pigment molecules that absorb sunlight for photosynthesis.
What organelle has light absorbing molecules?
Pigment
What is the job of pigment molecules such as chlorophyll?
gh
What are colored molecules that absorb light?
pigment
What is meant by the absorption spectrum of a pigment?
The absorption spectrum of pigment is the molecules response to light. The color of the pigment depends on the wavelengths of light the do not absorb.
When hemoglobin molecules are decomposed a greenish pigment called?
Biliverdin.
Is there water in ink?
Yes. The pigment molecules are suspended in water.
The antenna system of a plant that gathers the solar energy consists of?
A plant's antenna system consists of pigment molecules that are closely packed. The pigment molecules gather solar energy for the plant.
Electrons in pigment molecules become excited when exposed to?
Ultraviolet Light
