What pigment traps the energy for photosynthesis?

Answer 1

There is a wide range of pigments that are used for photosynthesis. However, chlorophyll is responsible for using obtained light energy to excite electrons to move through the transport chain. Many pigments are only capable of transferring energy to chlorophyll, but they are important because they increase the spectrum of the frequencies of light of which the organism can use to photosynthesize. These pigments are called accessory pigments. For a more detailed explanation of these pigments, view the attached link below.

Answer 2

Chlorophyll is the primary pigment which absorbs light energy in photosynthesis. In plants, there are two forms of chlorophyll (a and b) as well as important accessory pigments, such as the carotenes. Each pigment absorbs certain wavelengths, and collects and concentrates light energy for the photosynthetic process.

Answer 3

chlorophyll

They are the primary pigments.ther also some secondary pigments like xanthophyll,carotenes etc

Answer 4

Chlorophyll is the pigment that traps energy for photosynthesis in plants. It absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy that is used to fuel the photosynthetic process.

Answer 5

chlorophyll
