Some have a blue pigment that helps in photosynthesis. This pigment gives those cyanobacteria a blue tint. Other cyanobacteria have red pigment. Flamingos get their pink color by eating red cyanobacteria.

Cyanobacteria lives in water and these bacteria contain the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is important to photosynthesis.

What are the names of the two photo-pigments found on the retina?
Iodopsin and rhodopsin
What role do plant pigments play in the process of photosynthesis?
Pigments are able to absorb specific wavelengths of light which power photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, which is green, absorbs all wavelengths except green. Each photon excites an electron in the light harvesting complexes of a photosystem in a chlorophyll molecule, eventually producing ATPs. Other pigments will be a different color and will be able to absorb other wavelengths, maximizing energy absorbency when the sun's rays change.
What pigment traps the energy for photosynthesis?
There is a wide range of pigments that are used for photosynthesis. However, chlorophyll is responsible for using obtained light energy to excite electrons to move through the transport chain. Many pigments are only capable of transferring energy to chlorophyll, but they are important because they increase the spectrum of the frequencies of light of which the organism can use to photosynthesize. These pigments are called accessory pigments. For a more detailed explanation of these pigments, view the attached link below.
Why do plants have these other pigment besides chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is highly inefficient under green light, which is why it's green because it doesn't absorb green light. In order to compensate for this, other pigments such as xanthophyll and Beta- carotene perform photosynthesis using different lights and transfer the energy to where it is needed.
What is the pigment found in leaves?
The most abundant plant pigment found in the world is chlorophyll and it has two types one is called chlorophyll-a and other is called chlorophyll-b and chlorophyll -a is responsible for the occurance of photosynthesis in plants and above these it also has xanthophyll and yellow carotenoids.
What two effects of pigments found in cyanobacteria?
Some have a blue pigment that helps in photosynthesis. This pigment gives those cyanobacteria a blue tint. Other cyanobacteria have red pigment. Flamingos get their pink color by eating red cyanobacteria. or Cyanobacteria lives in water and these bacteria contain the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is important to photosynthesis.
What are two pigments that are found in chloroplasts?
Chlorophyll and caratinoids are found. They are photosynthetic pigmenta
What are the names of the two photo-pigments found on the retina?
Iodopsin and rhodopsin
What are the different pigments found in a vacuole?
betalains and anthocyanins..two types of betalains..betacyanins and betaxanthanins
What are light receptors?
Light receptors are found in the eye. There are two types of receptors; rods and cones. Rods produce the black and white pigments and the Cones produce the color pigments.
What are two main types of monerans?
Bacteria and cyanobacteria are the two types of monerans.
Which two plants have cyanobacteria in there roots?
one is the gymnosperm phyla Cycad
What are 2 pigments that are found in chloroplast?
The major components are chlorophyll (with two varieties, A and B), where photosynthesis takes place, and, as accessory pigments, carotenoids which are linear polyenes (such as beta-carotene) that function to fill in the absorption spectra of the where chlorophylls do not absorb strongly.
What are the two photosynthetic pigments?
Chloraphyll A and B
Which two spheres of earth are the effects of volcanoes and earthquakes found?
stratosphere and hydrsphere
Identify two examples of asexual reproduction in many celled organisms?
Cyanobacteria, deuteromycota
