What molecules in chloroplasts can absorb light?
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.
What molecules absorb light?
All molecules will absorb light to a greater or lesser degree
How are pigments associated with photosynthesis?
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.
What are the plant cell molecules that absorb light energy called?
Chlorophyll.
Do plants absorb or reflect green light?
YES. Plants absorb AND reflect green light. Leaves are green due to a compound called chlorophyll. The light absorbed by chlorophyll is used to power photosynthesis, the conversion of light energy into chemical energy. On a relative basis, chlorophyll absorbs more blue and red light, compared to green light; and therefore reflects less red and blue light. As a result, there is more green light than red or blue light reflected, so the chlorophyll containing part of the plant appears green. It is commonly thought that chlorophyll does not absorb green light, but that is a fallacy. A dark green leaf can absorb 90% of the green light impinging on it. In contrast, 95% of the red and blue light may be absorbed.

What are the molecules in plant cells that absorb light energy?
Chlorophyll.
What molecules embedded in the thylakoid membranes absorb light energy?
The Chlorophyll
True or false Chlorophyll pigments absorb mostly green wavelenghts and reflect blue and red wavelenghs?
True. Chlorophyll pigments primarily absorb blue and red wavelengths of light and reflect green wavelengths, giving leaves their green color.
What pigment molecules absorb a photon and pass the energy to the reaction-center complex?
chlorophyll
What are the molecules in plant cells absorb light energy?
Chlorophyll! Glad I could help :)
The function of chlorophyll is to?
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.
What molecules that absorb specific wavelengths of light?
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.
When chlorophyll molecules asbosrb light?
It is in the light dependant reaction. Thew first step of the photosynthesis.
