What drugs cause photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a biological process that occurs in plants, algae, and some bacteria to convert sunlight into energy. Drugs do not cause photosynthesis; it is a natural process regulated by specific enzymes and pigments in the organism's cells.
Why are pigments needed for photosynthesis?
Pigments are needed because they are useful to autotrophs and plants. Pigments are used to capture the sunlight's energy.
Do plants with non-green leaves have chlorophyll and can they carry out photosynthesis?
Plants with non-green leaves have chlorophyll and do carry out the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS. It is just that the chlorophyll is masked by other pigment.
A class of pigments that are present mostly in plants that aid in photosynthesis is...?
Carotenoid
What are the pigments that plants use?
Chlorophyll, they use it for photosynthesis.
What kind of plants do photosynthasis?
Plants having photosythetic pigments in their cells do photosynthesis

What plants need for photosynthesis?
Every type of green plant uses photosynthesis.
Are all pigments found in plants involved in photosynthesis?
No. All pigments found in plants are not involved in photosynthesis. In fact, the greatest variety of colored pigments are found in flower pedals and are used to attract pollinators among other things.

How plants get the process of photosynthesis?
Plants got the process of photosynthesis by means of evolution.
What is the green compound in plants that absorbs light?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs and uses sunlight to manufacture simple sugars through the process of photosynthesis.
Who can photosynthesis?
People cannot photosynthesis... in Autumn when tree leaves turn different colors so that is photosynthesis (In Autumn, the chlorophyll pigments break down and reveal the presence of accessory pigments)
