What pigment do cyanobacterium need to make food?

Cyanobacteria use the pigment chlorophyll to carry out photosynthesis and make their own food. Chlorophyll captures sunlight and converts it into energy that the cyanobacteria can use to produce carbohydrates.


Can plant survive without chlorophyll?

no plant cant survive without chlorophyll......as chlorophyll act as a medium for the process of photosynthesis in which they use sun light for the production of food(mainly glucose)..as a source of food...during night plant use glucose which they syntheise during day time but some aquatic plant which were present in sea where sunlight cant reach,such plant dont requried chlorophyll ....they use some other source for there energy chlorophyll is the green pigment...


Do plants make food in the dark?

No they can't. They need sunlight for that.


Why are most leaves green in color?

Leaves are green because of a pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants make their own food. It absorbs sunlight and uses it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, giving plants the energy they need to grow. The green color of chlorophyll is what gives leaves their green color.


Does fungi need dead wood to make food?

Fungi do not need dead wood to make food, as they are able to obtain nutrients through decomposition of organic matter. While they do play an important role in breaking down dead wood in forests, fungi are also able to obtain nutrients from various other sources such as living organisms, soil, and decaying plant material.

What the plants need to make a food?

Plants make food by a process known as photosynthesis using sunlight, chlorophyll (green pigment in leaves) and water.


How do cyanobacteria get energy?

Cyanobacteria have the same green pigment that plants have, chlorophyll, and use it to make energy.


Do animals have chlorophyll?

Only photosynthesising plants need to produce chlorophyll, because they feed autotrophically i.e. they make their own food, and chlorophyll is used to make plants' food. Animals don't make their own food so have no need for chlorophyll.


Cyanobacteria can make their own food because?

sunlight, carbon dioxide and water. photoheterotrophs need sunlight but cannot use carbon dioxide and chemoautotrophs need CO2 but not sunlight and chemoheterotrophs need neither sunlight nor CO2.


What does a palnt need to make food?

Plants make food in their leaves. The leaves contain a pigment called chlorophyll, which colors the leaves green. Chlorophyll can make food the plant can use fromcarbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and energy from sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis.


How do producers get their food?

Producers are green plants. And these plants are green because of a pigment called 'Chlorophyll'. This pigment with the help of carbondioxide from air and sunlight creates food for the plant by a process call 'Photosynthesis'. All other living things in the food chain survive because of this natural ability (Photosynthesis) of plants.


How do colonies of cyanobacteria benefit aquatic organisms?

Colonies of cyanobacteria benefit aquatic organisms because they can be an important source of food to organisms.Daily random word from ClarrissaBlooms : Smile


How are chloroplasts important to plants cells?

They contain chlorophyll, the green pigment plants need to make their food. The plant is unable to produce its food without the help of chloroplast. Chloroplasts are scattered throughout the cytoplasm of a plant cell. The chloroplasts give plants their green color and are used in making food.


Why can't you grow an albino plant?

Plant need chlorophyll, a pigment that reflects green light. So, you can not have a pigment free plant because that plant would not be able to produce food and structural material for itself.
