Pigment is a substance that absorbs some wavelengths of lights and reflects other, giving something its color. Chlorophyll is the green substance that absorbs light and provide energy for photosynthesis.
Pigment is a substance that absorbs some wavelengths of light and reflects others, giving something its color. Cellular respiration is the process cells use to produce energy from carbohydrates.
This is called absorbance of a substance for a given wavelength.

Chlorophyll a and b absorb BLUE-VIOLET and RED wavelengths of light best.
These pigments are able to absorb more wavelengths of light (and thus more energy) than chlorophyllaalone can absorb. As part of light-harvesting complexes in photosystems, they broaden the range of light that can be used in the light reactions.
To answer this question, the specific pigments must be identified.
No. Different forms of phytochrome absorb different wavelengths of light. Different forms of phytochrome are scattered throughout the plant. This allows the plant to perceive different intensities, wavelengths, and quality of light. Hope that helped!
Carotenoids and chlorophyll b absorb some of the energy in the green wavelength.
Pigments in plastids absorb various wavelengths of light.

Many chemical substances absorb light.
Black is the only color that does absorb all wavelengths of light.White is the color that reflects all wavelengths of light.All other colors absorb only certain wavelengths of light and reflect the rest.
all chemicals that can been seen by the naked eye absorb certain wavelengths of light of the visible light spectrum. it is the light that is absorbed that is what is seen. if a substance (or chemical) were to reflect all wavelengths of light (in the visible spectrum), it would be invisible.
YES!!!!! This happens because different colors absorb different wavelengths of light. As you can see with a prism, white light is actually made up of all the other colors. When this white light hits an object, some of the wavelengths that make up the light will be absorbed by the object, and the rest will be reflected. A red apple looks red to us because it reflects the red light wavelengths and absorbs every other color. Black substances don't reflect any wavelengths, so they absorb the most light, and in turn the most heat. However, white substances reflect all wavelengths, so they don't absorb much light or heat, and they are cooler. So while a white liquid would absorb some heat, a black liquid would heat up at a much faster rate, and the dark liquid would be hotter.
Carotenoids reflect yellow-orange light and absorb blue-green light.
Chlorophyll a and b absorb BLUE-VIOLET and RED wavelengths of light best.
The dark bands are caused from the differnet chemical elements which absorb light at specific wavelengths.
