Why are pigments needed for photosynthesis?
Pigments are needed because they are useful to autotrophs and plants. Pigments are used to capture the sunlight's energy.
How are pigments involved in the photosynthesis process?
The pigments are responsible for capturing the light energy from the sun and converting it to chemical energy. This is the first step of photosynthesis, so the pigments are responsible for initiating photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll and other pigment are used in photosynthesis to capture?
Chlorophyll and other plant pigments are present during photosynthesis. These pigments make absorption of sunlight capable.
Photosynthesis pigments are found in the?
Chlorophyll in chloroplasts in the cells.
How do plants capture light energy for used in photosynthesis?
Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments in chloroplasts
Pigments that expand the range of wavelengths for photosynthesis are called?
Antenna Pigments
How do you do photosynthesis?
People cannot perform photosynthesis, in Autumn when tree leaves change colors that is what photosynthesis is. In Autumn, the chlorophyll pigments break down and reveal the presence of accessory pigments.
What plant pigment are involved in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll, carotenoids, phycobilins and xanthophylls are the pigments involved in photosynthesis .Chlorophyll is the name used for several related pigments found in plants, they are used in photosynthesis.
Why are pigments needed for photosynthesis?
Pigments are needed because they are useful to autotrophs and plants. Pigments are used to capture the sunlight's energy.
Why are pigments such as chorophyll needed for photosynthesis?
Pigments like chlorophyll, capture light energy which is used for the first step of photosynthesis, the light dependent reaction.
How are pigments involved in the photosynthesis process?
The pigments are responsible for capturing the light energy from the sun and converting it to chemical energy. This is the first step of photosynthesis, so the pigments are responsible for initiating photosynthesis.
Who can photosynthesis?
People cannot photosynthesis... in Autumn when tree leaves turn different colors so that is photosynthesis (In Autumn, the chlorophyll pigments break down and reveal the presence of accessory pigments)
What do pigments absorb during photosynthesis?
light energy
Are all pigments found in plants involved in photosynthesis?
No. All pigments found in plants are not involved in photosynthesis. In fact, the greatest variety of colored pigments are found in flower pedals and are used to attract pollinators among other things.
Which pigments in plant is engaged in photosynthesis?
chlorophyll is the pigment present in the plant that is resposible for the process of photosynthesis
Do elodea leaves carry out photosynthesis?
yesElodea also a plant.Its chlorophyll is masked by other pigments. Photosynthesis is taking place in it too
Chlorophyll and other pigment are used in photosynthesis to capture?
Chlorophyll and other plant pigments are present during photosynthesis. These pigments make absorption of sunlight capable.
