What pigment reflects green light and absorbs other colors of light to provide energy for photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll is the pigment that reflects green light and absorbs other colors of light to provide energy for photosynthesis in plants.

A green pigment that all plants have. It absorbs light to provide energy for photosynthesis


What is a green pigment that absorbs light to provide energy for photosynthesis it is present in most plant and algae cells and some bacteria?

Oh Chlorophyll!


What function does red pigment provide some algae?

Red pigment in algae, such as phycoerythrin, helps absorb light for photosynthesis in deeper water where blue and green light is limited. This allows the algae to thrive in low light conditions by capturing additional wavelengths of light energy for photosynthesis.


Which term describes substances that absorb some wavelengths of light?

Pigment is a substance that absorbs some wavelengths of lights and reflects other, giving something its color. Chlorophyll is the green substance that absorbs light and provide energy for photosynthesis.


What is chollorphyl?

It seems like you have misspelled "chlorophyll," which is a green pigment found in plants responsible for photosynthesis. It absorbs sunlight and plays a key role in converting light energy into chemical energy. Chlorophyll is essential for plant growth and survival.

Why is chlorophyll important in process of photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll is the pigment that captures the radiant energy from the sun. This energy is then used to facilitate photosynthesis.


What do photosynthetic cells require in order to transform light energy into chemical energy?

Photosynthetic cells require chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs light energy, and water to carry out the chemical reactions of photosynthesis. They also need carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to provide carbon for synthesizing organic molecules like glucose.


How is chromatography related to photosynthesis?

The process of chromatography relates to the overall process of photosynthesis because photosynthesis is the source of food for plants. Plants use sunlight, CO2 and water to make energy in the form of glucose. The role of pigments in this is that pigments help to create energy in plants by absorbing sunlight. Pigments can absorb or reflect certain light waves according to their specific wavelengths which can be determined by the colour of the pigment. Different colours of pigments have different corresponding wavelengths. The pigment, chlorophyll, found in most plants is the one most associated with photosynthesis. This pigment reflects green wavelength because they provide less energy and reflects it for us to view the plant as green. An example of this would be spinach. This green plant contains multiple pigments. It contains chlorophyll which reflects green light and also contains multiple other pigments which pass through the leaf to be used in photosynthesis. Particularly intense reflection increases the colour of the plant and since green plants contain an abundance of chlorophyll to reflect as much green light as possible, we see spinach as a dark green plant.


Why does photosynthesis not take place in the parts of leaves that are white?

The green areas of a leaf contain the type of chlorophyll that is responsible for the process of photosynthesis and which is colored green. It is absent from some areas and those leaf parts are therefore not green and photosynthesis cannot occur there.


What are two conditions necessary for photosynthesis apart from a suitable temperature range and the availability of water and carbon dioxide?

Two conditions necessary for photosynthesis are sunlight - to provide the energy needed for the process, and chlorophyll - a pigment that captures light energy for use in photosynthesis.
