These are some of the other pigments found in plants other than green pigments.
Accessory Pigments. They are red, orange, yellow, and brown.
chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotene, xanthophylls, etc.
Although chlorophyll is the main pigment found in leaves therer are others.Ê Carotenoids are also found in leaves and range in color from red to yellow.
These other pigments are called accessory pigments (red, orange, yellow, brown).
There are three pigments that are found in a geranium leaf. The three pigments are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids.
Plants with non green leaves do have chlorophyll and do carry out photosynthesis. It is just that the chlorophyll is masked by other pigments.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

there are different pigments in the world of plants the most common pigment has the color green thats why many plants are green but there are also some different pigments like purple, yellow, orange, blue, ect. different colors depend on the: plant, environment, sunlight, soil, hight, ect. they also do different things in the plant than a normal green pigment like the way of growth or strange abnormalities, even in the green pigment there are some abnormalities.
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.
Chromoplasts contain pigments other than green for example they may contain carotene, xanthophyll or any other pigment which color the plants.

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.
