What is the green pigments in the leaves that absorbs light energy from the sun?
That would be "Chlorophyll".
Is sunlight necessary to produce chlorophyll?
The production of chlorophyll is done chemically. Sunlight or artificial light energy is needed for the functioning of chlorophyll.
What part of the chlorophyll molecule absorbs light?
Chlorophyll does not aborbs light itself, it only absorbs light photonic energy to trigger chemical reaction.
What happens to the light energy that is captured by chlorophyll?
Along with water, it is chemically converted into a form of carbohydrates that plants can use for energy. This is calledPHOTOSYNTHESIS.
What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll is the molecule that absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to "synthesise" carbohydrates from CO2 and H2O
When chlorophyll absorbs light energy what happens to its electrons?
It becomes excited.
Which substance in a chloroplast is a green pigment that absorbs energy for photosynthesis?
The green pigment is called "chlorophyll".
What pigment absorbs energy in sunlight?
Chlorophyll
Which substance in plants absorbs energy in the photosystems?
Chlorophyll
Compare And Contrast Chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b?
Chlorophyll a absorbs energy from most wavelengths of violet/blue and orange/red. Chlorophyll b is more soluble that chlorophyll a in polar solvents and more yellow in color. It absorbs most energy from blue light.
What is the green pigments in the leaves that absorbs light energy from the sun?
That would be "Chlorophyll".
What wavelength does chlorophyll a absorb the most energy?
Chlorophyll a absorbs the most light (energy) in the blue- violet spectrum
In the process of photosynthesis chlorophyll serves as?
Chlorophyll absorbs the light from the sun to produce chemical energy
What pigment absorbs light energy when photosynthesis's begins?
chlorophyll
What pigment absorbs light energy when protosynthesis begins?
Chlorophyll.
Is sunlight necessary to produce chlorophyll?
The production of chlorophyll is done chemically. Sunlight or artificial light energy is needed for the functioning of chlorophyll.
What part of the chlorophyll molecule absorbs light?
Chlorophyll does not aborbs light itself, it only absorbs light photonic energy to trigger chemical reaction.
