Several other pigments are found in plants beside chlorophyll. These are: anthocyanin's which reflect red, blue, purple, or magenta colors; carotenoids which reflect yellow, orange, or red and absorb blue light; and phycobilins which are found in algae.

What molecules in chloroplasts can absorb light?
A type of plastids called chloroplasts absorb the light.
When chlorophyll a molecules absorb energy the molecules?
release electrons and energy
What molecules absorb light?
All molecules will absorb light to a greater or lesser degree
Chlorophyll is embedded in this membrane?
They are embedded in the thylakoid membrane in the chloroplasts :-)
Do green plants reflect all colors of the spectrum?
No. Actually they ABSORB all colors of the visible spectrum except green and REFLECT green light.
