∙ 8y agoOther pigments such as carotenoids and phycobilins can absorb different wavelengths of light and give plants their yellow, orange, and red colors. These pigments work alongside chlorophyll to capture a wider range of light for photosynthesis. Anthocyanins are pigments that reflect red, blue, and purple colors in plants.

∙ 9y agoSeveral 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.

Chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b are the main molecules in chloroplasts that can absorb light for photosynthesis. These pigments absorb light energy and convert it into chemical energy, which is used to drive the process of photosynthesis.
All molecules will absorb light to a greater or lesser degree
Pigments are molecules that absorb light energy. In photosynthesis, pigments such as chlorophyll absorb light and transfer the energy to the reaction centers, where it is used to drive the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Pigments play a crucial role in capturing light energy for the process of photosynthesis to take place.
Chlorophyll.
Plants primarily absorb red and blue light for photosynthesis, but they can also absorb green light to a lesser extent. However, some green light is reflected by plants, which is why they appear green to our eyes.

The Chlorophyll
True. Chlorophyll pigments primarily absorb blue and red wavelengths of light and reflect green wavelengths, giving leaves their green color.
Chlorophyll! Glad I could help :)
chlorophyll
Chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis, which allows plants to absorb energy from light. Chlorophyll molecules are arranged in and around photosystems that are embedded in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
Chlorophyll and carotenoids are examples of molecules that absorb specific wavelengths of light for photosynthesis in plants. In the field of medicine, hemoglobin and melanin are molecules that absorb specific wavelengths of light for various diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
It is in the light dependant reaction. Thew first step of the photosynthesis.
