What color is the chlorophyll in a plant cell?
The pigment chlorophyll is green, however, it is only one of a number of coloured pigments found in plant cells.The color of a plant leaf results from an interaction of different pigments produced by the plant. The main pigment classes responsible for leaf color are porphyrins, carotenoids, and flavonoids. The color that we perceive depends on the amount and types of the pigments that are present. Chemical interactions within the plant, particularly in response to acidity (pH) also affect the leaf color. See the color chart below for additional information.Pigment Class Compound Type Colors Porphyrin chlorophyll green Carotenoid carotene and lycopenexanthophyll yellow, orange, redyellow Flavonoid flavoneflavonolanthocyanin yellowyellowred, blue, purple, magenta

Why must the leaf be dipped in boiling water before immersing it in ethanol?
the green pigment, chlorophyll should be removed in order to observe color change during test for starch. in order to do that, the leaf is dipped in boiling water to break cell walls which would facilitate the release of the pigment out of the cell. immersion in ethanol would dissolve the pigment which would be released out of the cells thereby making the leaf appear pale in color.
When you look at a green leaf why do you see the color green?
a leaf look green in sunlight as it has green colored pigment in it. When sunlight falls on it all other colors are absorbed by the leaf as sunlight forphotosynthesis and green color is reflected to our eyes and the leaf look green to us.

What colours do the two main types of pigment produce?
Chlorophyll pigment produces green color, while carotenoid pigment produces red, orange, or yellow colors.
Are lobsters red before they are cooked?
Lobsters are naturally red in color, which is caused by a carotenoid pigment, similar to that which is found in carrots. When the lobster is laying down its shell, the carotenoid pigment combines with protein, temporarily changing the pigment. Instead of reflecting red, which would be the normal color of the lobster pigment, the shell can display a variety of colors. Usually, the altered carotenoid shows up as a greenish-blue hue. Cooking breaks down the protein, releasing the carotenoid pigment. The lobster then turns its natural color, which is red. The change in color usually occurs rapidly since the protein begins to break down as soon as the lobster is immersed in boiling water.
A carotenoid pigment called lycopene is not only responsible for this item's nasty stains but also for its distinctive color What edible is this?

Pigment that is present in rhoeo leaf that gives it purple color?
The pigment responsible for the purple color in a Rhoeo leaf is anthocyanin. Anthocyanin is a water-soluble pigment commonly found in plants that appear red, blue, or purple in color.

A yellow pigment found in carrots?
The yellow pigment found in carrots is called beta-carotene. It is a type of carotenoid that gives carrots their vibrant color and serves as a precursor for vitamin A in the body. Beta-carotene is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage.
