What is a difference between chlorophyll A and chlorophyll B?
The structural difference between chlorophyll 'a' and chlorophyll 'b' is this that the functional group bonded to the porphyrin is methyl group (-CH3) in chlorophyll 'a' and carbonyl group (-CHO) in chlorophyll 'b'.
What is the main function of chlorophyll b?
Chlorophyll A is the primary and most common Chlorophyll pigment being used by plants in the natural process of photosynthesis. There are auxiliary pigments which are Chlorophyll B, C, D and E.
Why are chlorophyll a and b green?
They both absorb al of the wavelengths of sunlight except for green.
Which is more polar- chlorophyll a or b?
Chlorophyll a
What molecules in chloroplasts can absorb light?
A type of plastids called chloroplasts absorb the light.
What wavelengths of light do chlorophyll b pigments readily absorb?
blue-green

What is the main function of chlorophyll b?
Chlorophyll A is the primary and most common Chlorophyll pigment being used by plants in the natural process of photosynthesis. There are auxiliary pigments which are Chlorophyll B, C, D and E.
What r d different types of chlorophyll present in plants?
There are two main pigments.They chlorophyll a and b.
Why are chlorophyll a and b green?
They both absorb al of the wavelengths of sunlight except for green.
How do accessory pigments differ from chlorophyll a?
Accessory Pigments absorb energy that chlorophyll a does not absorb.
What is chlorophyll composed of?
chlorophyll is composed of many lights that we see in a rainbow. chlorophyll a is when it absorbs all light except for the color red. chlorophyll b is the same as chlorophyll a but instead of not absorbing the color red it refuses to absorb the color blue.
What pigments absorb light energy during Photosynthesis?
chlorophylls a and b absorb blue and green light.
Why do plants also contain accessory pigments?
Additional pigment in plants, other than chlorophyll, enable these to utilize maximum solar radiations. For example carotene and xanthophylls absorb those radiations which remain inaccessible to chlorophyll a & b.
Which is more polar- chlorophyll a or b?
Chlorophyll a
What molecules in chloroplasts can absorb light?
A type of plastids called chloroplasts absorb the light.
What are the different types of chlorophyll What is chlorophyll a and b?
the chlorophyll A and chlorophyll B
