In plants, usually pigment is more important in the process of fertilization than any other. Pigment will attract different insects, birds, or other animals which aids in the transport of pollen to other plants for cross fertilization.

However, for plants like the venus fly trap, color attracts prey.

Which pigments are present in smallest amounts in the leaf?

there is a green pigment called chlorophyll and there are also two type of accesory pigment called carotenoids and third class accesory pigment called anthocyanins and we can also say that stomata is pigment


Besides chlorophyll what other pigments are found in chloroplasts?

Other pigments found in chloroplasts include carotenoids (such as beta-carotene and xanthophylls) and anthocyanins. These pigments help in capturing different wavelengths of light for photosynthesis and also provide protection against oxidative damage.


Why are pigments needed for photosynthesis?

Pigments are needed for photosynthesis to capture light energy. Specifically, pigments such as chlorophyll absorb certain wavelengths of light necessary for the conversion of light energy into chemical energy during the process of photosynthesis. Without pigments, plants would not be able to harvest light to fuel their growth and metabolism.


What are pigments in biology?

Pigments are molecules that give color to organisms. In biology, pigments are often involved in processes like photosynthesis (chlorophyll pigments in plants), camouflage (melanin in animals), or sexual attraction (carotenoid pigments in birds). Pigments can absorb and reflect different wavelengths of light, leading to variety in colors observed in nature.


Plant structure that stores food and pigments?

The plant structure that stores food and pigments is the vacuole. The vacuole plays a crucial role in storing nutrients, sugars, and pigments in plant cells. These stored pigments help give plants their characteristic colors.
