What else can I help you with?
Besides chlorophyll what other pigments are found in chloroplasts?
Other pigments found in chloroplasts include carotenoids (such as beta-carotene and xanthophylls) and anthocyanins. These pigments help in capturing different wavelengths of light for photosynthesis and also provide protection against oxidative damage.
What masked by green pigments in the spring and summer?
chlorophyll
What are the different pigments in plants?
The different pigments that are present in plants:1) Chlorophyll a- Is the pigment directly involved in harvesting light energy. It absorbs blue-green light.2) Chorophyll b- Absorbs yellow-green wave lengths.3) Caroteniods- Absorbs blue/violet, and reflects Orange.4) Xanthophylls- Absorbs yellow pigments.5) Anthocyanins- This is found in the vacuoles. Absorbs red, violet, and blue.All other the pigments are accessory pigments because they pass their absorbed energy to chlorophylla or they play an protective role.
Do plants with non-green leaves have chlorophyll and can they carry out photosynthesis?
Plants with non-green leaves like variegated plants still have chlorophyll, but in lower amounts compared to green plants. They can still carry out photosynthesis, although at a slower rate. Variegation is caused by the presence of other pigments in the leaves, which can sometimes mask the green color from chlorophyll.
Why do plants have these other pigment besides chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is highly inefficient under green light, which is why it's green because it doesn't absorb green light. In order to compensate for this, other pigments such as xanthophyll and Beta- carotene perform photosynthesis using different lights and transfer the energy to where it is needed.
Do all plants have green pigments?
No, not all plants have green pigments. While chlorophyll is the most common pigment that gives plants their green color, some plants may have other pigments like red, yellow, or purple. These pigments can help the plants absorb different wavelengths of light for 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.
Arthropods blood green because of the copper?
No, while copper ions can give a green color, not all green things are copper. An insects yellowish-green "blood" gets its color from other pigments, usually found in plants eaten by the insects.
How do you extract green pigments from plants?
One method to extract green pigments from plants is through a process called maceration where you grind the plant material and soak it in a solvent such as ethanol or acetone. The solvent will extract the green pigments along with other compounds from the plant material. After extraction, the solvent can be evaporated to leave behind the green pigment.
What are the kinds of chloropyll and other pigments?
The main types of chlorophyll in plants are chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. Other pigments found in plants include carotenoids (such as beta-carotene), anthocyanins, and xanthophylls. These pigments play various roles in photosynthesis and light absorption.

chlorophyll
What are the main pigments found in plants?
The majority of coloured pigments that are found within in plants are contained chloroplasts found inside the outer cells of the leaves and stems of the plants. The most common of these is Chlorophyll. Other groups of pigments are responsible for the color of flowers and the "autumn colors" associated with many deciduous plant leaves. See related questions below.
How do green leaves make food?
they depend on other plants Non-green leaves have other photosynthetic pigments like carotene and xanthophyll in their plastids which help in the process of photosynthesis.

What do the chromoplasts do?
Chromoplasts contain pigments other than green for example they may contain carotene, xanthophyll or any other pigment which color the plants.
