chlorophyll is the green pigmentation in plants. Photosynthesis is the method used by plants to utilise carbon dioxide and the suns energy to form glucose to use as food other than the minerals it is able to extract from the earth.

Stores food or contains pigment?

A refrigerator stores food by maintaining a cool temperature to help preserve freshness. In plants, the vacuole contains pigment molecules that give color to petals, fruits, and other plant parts.


What part of a plant contains chlorophyll?

Chlorophyll is primarily found in the chloroplasts of plant cells, which are concentrated in the mesophyll cells of leaves. The chlorophyll pigment is responsible for capturing light energy during photosynthesis, allowing plants to produce their own food.


The tiny body that contains chlorophyll?

Chloroplast is the tiny body within plant cells that contains chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the green pigment responsible for capturing light energy during photosynthesis, allowing plants to produce their own food.


What is the name of the pigment in plants that captures this energy?

The pigment in plants that captures energy from sunlight is called chlorophyll. It is responsible for the green color of plants and is crucial for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy.


What isn't in an animal cell that is in a plant cell?

A Plant cell have two unique organellesthat separates a animal cell to a plant cell and a common one that changes when a plant cell develops from a young cell to a older cell.Cell wall - protects and support the structure of the cell and filter and mange how substance go in and out the cell.Plastids - containers that often contain pigments. (There are three types of plastids) Chloroplasts - contains the green pigment substances, chlorophyll which traps light energy from the sun and use it for photosynthesis.Chromoplast - contains coloured pigments which is responsible for fruits and flowers colours. (yellow pigment = Xanthophyll and orange pigment = Carotene)Leucoplast - contains colorless pigments where starch is storedA large central Vacuole (only in older plant cells)- Stores food, water, minerals
