Some examples are carotenoids and phychobiliprotein. Chlorophyll is not an accessory pigment. Accessory pigments are pigments which work alongside Chlorophyll a in photosynthesis, such as carotene.

Give an example of accessory pigment?
beta-carotene, or carotenoid pigments are important to photosynthesis anthocyanins, which are red/purple pigments, are important in stress responses.
Lab 4 AP Bio Plant Pigments and Photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a light reaction that happen in the chloroplast by wavelenght types
What does Plants use pigments to collect or trap?
Mainly chlorophyll a, but also, other accessory pigments like chlorophyll b.
Why are accessory pigments not visible?
The range of light absorption in leaves is extended by some accessory pigments. But it does not cover the entire visible range.
What major and accessory pigments are necessary for photosynthesis to be carried out?
Chlorophylls (a, b, c, and d. However, their presence depends on the type of organism); carotenoids and phycobilins are accessory pigments. the pigment necessary for photosynthesis is called chlorophyll, which traps the energy in sunlight. it is present in chloroplasts, which are small disc-shaped structures present in a plant cell.
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 specific wavelengths do the accessory pigments absorb and why is it important to photosynthesis?
blue and red
What major 2 and accessory 4 pigments are necessary for Photosynthesis to be carried out?
a-z
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 is the role of carotenoids in a photosytem?
Carotenoids are colored pigments found in plant cells such as in brown algae, in carrots and more. They are accessory pigments which do not do photosynthesis. They transmit energetic to chlorophyll for the process of photosynthesis.

How do accessory pigments differ from chlorophyll a?
Accessory Pigments absorb energy that chlorophyll a does not absorb.
What is the main photopigment utilized by plants during photosynthesis?
The main photo-pigment utilized by plants during photosynthesis is chlorophyll a.However,there are other photo pigments such as chlorophyll b and accessory photo pigments like Beta-carotene, and xanthophylls.
What does Plants use pigments to collect or trap?
Mainly chlorophyll a, but also, other accessory pigments like chlorophyll b.
When do you see accessory pigments the most?
Accessory pigments are mostly seen through light. The more the light is shown the more pigments there will be.
Are photosynthetic pigments and accessory pigments the same?
Photosynthetic pigments yes
