Describe why you see fall colors during the fall season What happens to the green pigments that allows for the orange red and yellow pigments to be more visible?
Because the amount of sunlight is less and the weather is colder, trees allows the beta carotene (orange pigments), and other pigments, to be more visible compared to when the leaves have more chlorophyll (green pigments).
What other pigments present in a leaf?
There are three pigments that are found in a geranium leaf. The three pigments are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids.
Is sugar stored in the plants cells for later use in photosynthesis?
Plant cells contain organelles called chloroplasts, which contain pigments which absorb and reflect varying colors within the spectrum of visible light. The pigments in green plants absorb all colors of the visible light spectrum, except for green, which is reflected, giving the green color we see. The color of plants is dictated by which colors of the spectrum are reflected by the pigments in that particular plant's chloroplasts.
Besides chlorophyll what other pigments are found in chloroplasts?
These other pigments are called accessory pigments (red, orange, yellow, brown).
What are Pigments that trap sunlight are called?
