Green pigment necessary for photosynthesis

Answer 1

• Plant cells have an organelle (a feature) inside them called chloroplasts. These chloroplasts contain GREEN PIGMENTS called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light in order for photosynthesis to take place as:

Carbon dioxide + Water -l-i-g-h-t-> Glucose + oxygen

The green light is reflected giving a plant its green color.

________________________________________________________

• Although photosynthesis is performed differently by different species, the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by proteins called reaction centers that contain green chlorophyll pigments.
• In plants, these proteins are held inside organelles called chloroplasts, which are most abundant in leaf cells, while in bacteria they are embedded in the plasma membrane.

Answer 2

Chlorophyll is the green pigment necessary for photosynthesis in plants. It absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy that is used to fuel the process of photosynthesis. Without chlorophyll, plants would not be able to capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into food.

Answer 3

Chlorophyll is the most important and noticeable pigment in photosynthesis. However, other pigments, known as carotenoids and phycobilins, are used by certain plants and photosynthetic bacteria for photosynthesis.

Answer 4

The green pigment is the chlorophyll, which absorbs light energy.
