Carotenoids are mostly yellow-red-orange-brown in colour, chlorophyll is green. Carotenoids serve two main purposes in plants - protection from exces sunlight (a bit like sun-screen), and they can absord some sunlight which they then transfer to chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absords sunlight and is involved in photosynthesis.
The relationship of the pigments are the plastids.
Chlorophyll is green plastid while other chromoplasts range from yellow to red.
Leuocoplasts are white plastids.
They use the sunlight for photolysis and other chemical synthesis.
Carotenoids are Carotenoid pigments mostly reflect yellow,red-orange, and brown light, while chlorophyll reflects green light
Chlorophyll is specifically a green pigment. Accessory pigments cannot transfer light energy directly to photosynthetic processes; Chlorophyll is what begins the process of photosynthesis.
i dont know but who crears
YES
I have studied photosyn. and to the best of my knowledge chl. a and b are in both photosystems. The difference between absorption in photosystem II (p680) and I (p700) is caused by the amount of a (best at 450-500nm) or b (best at 470-600nm).Photosyn. I should have more b and photosyn. should have more a.
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'.
Chlorophyll and other pigments are a part of thylakoid membrane.
When a photon strikes a pigment molecule such as chlorophyll, the energy from the photon is passed to the chlorophyll. This energy then continues to pass between molecules until it hits the reaction center, where the reaction of photosynthesis' glucose creation occurs.
Solar radiation peaks in energy in the mid-yellow range. Chlorphyll's absorption also peaks in this range. It is a demonstration of the adaption of plants to optimizing their production efficiency.
Chlorophyll is a pigment.
These algae utilize chlorophyll a in photosynthesis. There is a big difference between the species of this genus with other microalgae. Nannocloropsis algae have neither chlorophyll b nor chlorophyll c.
The main difference is the wavelengths of light that they absorb and reflect, this allows plants to make use of more wavelengths of light. Primary pigments also create electrons directly, however I can't seem to find what the accessory pigments do instead...anyways, hope that helps
In leaves, the carotenoids are usually masked by the chlorophylls. In the autumn, as the quantity of chlorophyll in the leaf declines, the carotenoids become visible and produce the yellows and reds of autumn foliage.

difference between dyes and pigment
ney
Nothing, accessory and primary organs are the same
An accessory is like a necklace or a bracelet, so jewelry. A bag is a container you can put stuff in.
biggest difference is that in light- the primary colors are red blue and green. Whereas in paint pigments its red blue and yellow
essential mineral is a such mineral on which we assign the name to a rock.and the accessory minerals present in lesser abundance.
