There are 2 main types,chlorophyll named a and b. They differ slightly in the composition of a sidechain (in ait is -CH3, in b it is CHO). Both However are very effective photoreceptors as they contain a network of alternating single and double bonds, and the orbitals can delocalise, stabilising the structure. Such delocalised polyenes have very strong absorption bands in the visible regions of the spectrum, allowing the plant to absorb the energy from sunlight.
What else can I help you with?
What pigment is responsible for photosynthesis?
Chorophyll a is essential.It is needed to direct photosynthesis.
What is the phytol tail of chorophyll-a and b?
The phytol tail is a long hydrophobic carbon chain that is attached to the chlorophyll molecule in both chlorophyll-a and chlorophyll-b. It helps anchor the chlorophyll molecule to the thylakoid membrane in chloroplasts, where photosynthesis occurs.
Is chlorophyll always green?
no, because chorophyll is broken down into simpler coundpounds, so green color leaf color will gradually fade. (got it from website) no, because chorophyll is broken down into simpler coundpounds, so green color leaf colorwill gradually fade. (got it from website)
When does photosynthesis occur?
Photosynthesis is the process which is used by plants to prepare their own food, as they are autotrophs. It occurs in day time because for the photosynthesis to take place, two things are required: 1 sunlight (that's why it take place in day time) 2 chorophyll(which is present in green plants) Photosynthesis only takes place in green plants.
What is the green colouring matter of plants called?
chlorophyll is what makes the plant greenchloroplast is what conducts photosynthesis

What is chorophyll organic or inorganic?

What is a photosythetic pigment?
Chorophyll pigments present in choroplast.
In plants chorophyll converts what gas into oxygen?
carbon dioxide
What pigment allows phytoplankton to photosynthesize like plants do?
It does not have Chorophyll
