What pigments do thylakoids?
The thylakoid membrane of green plants contains 6 different pigments: Carotene - an orange pigment Xanthophyll - a yellow pigment Phaeophytin a - a gray-brown pigment Phaeophytin b - a yellow-brown pigment Chlorophyll a - a blue-green pigment Chlorophyll b- a yellow-green pigment Chlorophyll a is the most common of these 6 pigments (present in all photosynthetic plants).

What is the primary light absorbing pigment found in plants?
The chlorophyll absorbs most of the colors in the color spectrum, and reflects only green and yellow wavelengths. This is why we see leaves as green or yellow- because these colors are reflected into our eyes.
Do protein in your body includes chlorophyll and hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin present while chlorophyll absent .
What type of reaction occurs when chlorophyll breaks down into new substances?
The breakdown of chlorophyll involves a chemical reaction known as decomposition, where chlorophyll molecules are broken down into simpler substances. This process is catalyzed by enzymes and can result in the formation of new compounds such as phytol and phaeophytin.
Which pigments did you identify from the spinach leaf?
Chlorophyll, carotenoids, pheophytins and xanthophylls
Is chlorophyll present in a plant cell but absent in an animal cell?
yes it is present in a plant cell but absent in an animal cel
Why does a spinach leaf look green?
it has the pigment chlorophyll in it so it can preform photosnthisis
Does red cabbage have more chlorophyll than spinach?
Chlorophyll is substance that is found in GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES and not in red-coloured vegetables as chlorophyll is the major cause for the colour green in vegetables
What is a real life example of chlorophyll?
A chloroplast is a jelly
What conclusions can you make about the photosynthetic activity of spinach?
Spinach is a plant that exhibits high photosynthetic activity due to its high chlorophyll content. The vibrant green color of spinach leaves indicates a high rate of photosynthesis, as chlorophyll is responsible for capturing light energy for photosynthesis. Additionally, spinach is a C3 plant, which means it is efficient in converting carbon dioxide into sugars during photosynthesis.
What happens when chlorophyll breaks down to new substances?
When chlorophyll breaks down, it can form new substances such as phaeophytin and pheophorbide. These breakdown products may exhibit different colors than chlorophyll, leading to changes in the pigmentation of plants or leaves. Additionally, the breakdown of chlorophyll is a natural process that occurs during plant senescence or as a response to environmental stress.
