What color is an animal cell?

Most plant cells are colorless unless there are chloroplasts or chromoplasts (tomatoes, carrots, radish) present in the cells. In some cases, there may be pigments in the vacuole of the cell. There are many internal cells that have no pigments. Source: Biology instructor for 4 years


Lab 4 AP Bio Plant Pigments and Photosynthesis?

In Lab 4 of AP Biology, students typically investigate plant pigments and photosynthesis. This may involve using chromatography to separate pigments in plant leaves, measuring the rate of photosynthesis under different conditions, and exploring the relationship between light intensity and photosynthetic activity. The goal is to understand how plants capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis.


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.


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.

Store foods or pigments?

Actually, the organelle chlorophyll, stores food and pigments collected by the sun during photosynthesis. Resoure: Learning about it in biology.


What charge is carried by the pigments in the separation(biology)?

In the separation of pigments, such as during chromatography, the pigments often carry a negative charge. This is due to the presence of functional groups in the pigments that can ionize in solution, allowing them to interact differently with the stationary and mobile phases based on their charge and polarity. The varying charges and polarities of the pigments contribute to their differential movement through the medium, leading to their separation.


What are Organelles containing pigments in the cells of plants?

Chloroplasts are the organelles that contain pigments in plant cells, notably chlorophyll. These pigments are essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy to produce food. Other pigments found in plant cells include carotenoids and anthocyanins, which contribute to the characteristic colors of flowers and fruits.


What method can be used to separate the colours of a leaf?

In order for a biologist to sepearate leaf pigments, he should use chromatography. Hope this helps because I too, had to answer a question just like this for biology!

Are photosynthetic pigments and accessory pigments the same?

No, photosynthetic pigments are the main pigments involved in capturing light energy for photosynthesis, such as chlorophyll. Accessory pigments are additional pigments that assist in light absorption and broaden the range of light wavelengths that can be utilized for photosynthesis, such as carotenoids and phycobilins.
