Chlorophyll does not aborbs light itself, it only absorbs light photonic energy to trigger chemical reaction.

What is chlorophyll responsible for?

It is the part of a molecule that is responsible for its color. When a molecule absorbs a wavelength of visible light and reflects or transmits others, this is when the molecule's color will appear.


What part of the plant absorbs the light?

the chlorophyll which are in the chloroplasts.


Which named part absorbs light energy for photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll is the pigment in plant cells that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.


What wavelength of light does chlorophyll a reflect?

There are 2 different types of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll "a" absorbs light in the violet and red regions of the visible spectrum while chlorophyll "b" absorbs light in the blue and red regions of the visible spectrum.


Why is there chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll is necessary in photosynthesis, because: 1. it absorbs the light necessary for photosynthesis mostly the blue and red light but poorly in green light because of electromagnetic spectrm 2. gives the leaves it green color


Is chlorophyll part of the ATP molecule?

No, chlorophyll is not part of the ATP molecule. Chlorophyll is a pigment responsible for capturing light energy during photosynthesis in plants, while ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule that stores and transfers energy within cells for various cellular processes.


What wavelengths does carotene absorb?

Carotenoids reflect yellow-orange light and absorb blue-green light.


What part of a plant cell gathers light energy?

The chloroplasts in plant cells gather light energy through a pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs light during photosynthesis, where it is converted into chemical energy used by the plant.


What role does chlorphyll play in photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll's role in photosynthesis is to convert the light energy from the sun to chemical energy. When enough energy strikes chlorophyll, it looses its electrons and thus they are able to move through a transport chain. Their energy is stored in NADPH which is then transferred to glucose.


Why is chlorophyll a catalyst?

Chlorophyll is NOT really a catalyst. The presence of chlorophyll in the absence of light does not catalyze photosynthesis. Chlorophyll plays a part in photosynthesis, it captures light energy.


Where in chloroplasts is light energy absorbed?

chloroplast have membrane bound sac like structures piled up on top of each other called thylakoids which have chlorophyll(pigment having "Mg"ion) filled in them, this pigment is primarily responsible for absorption of photons of light


The part of a plant cell that is naturally green is?

Chlorophyll does not absorbs light wavelengths that correspond to the color green. So green is reflected and we see it is naturally green.
