Light excites two sets of photosynthetic pigments. These are photosystem 1 (PS1) and photosystem 2 (PS2). PS1 is excited by photons at about 700 nanometers, while PS2 is excited at about 680 nanometers.

∙ 9y agoYes light energy excite electrons in an antenna pigment in a photosynthetic unit. The excitation is passed along to a molecule of P68o chlorophyll in the photosynthetic unit.

Electrons from photosystems are exited. Photosystem absorb light energy and transfer to the electrons

Is paramecia photosynthetic?
No, paramecia are not photosynthetic. Photosynthetic organisms react when exposed to light. Paramecia cannot detect light.
Where are photosynthetic pigments found in green plants?
In the thylakoids in the grana which are located inside the chloroplasts in a plant cell inside of a plant, and some fungi.
Pigments act differently from light because they reflect their own color and all the others?
Pigments act differently from light because they reflect their own color and all the others absorb.
What pigments absorb light energy during Photosynthesis?
chlorophylls a and b absorb blue and green light.
Why coloured light produce colour by addition and pigment produce by subtraction?
Lights are coloured by the light they emit and are additive, while pigments are coloured by the light they absorb/reflect and are subtractive.
How do organisms capture light energy?
By using photosynthetic pigments. Primary pigments are the chlorophylls
What pigments traps light energy?
Photosynthetic pigments capture light energy.Examples are chlorophyll,caratinoids etc.
Are photosynthetic pigments and accessory pigments the same?
Photosynthetic pigments yes
Are there photosynthetic pigments in radicchio?
No, there are no photosynthetic pigments in Radicchio.
How do plants capture light energy for used in photosynthesis?
Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments in chloroplasts
Are photosynthetic pigments a part of the light dependent or light independent reactions?
The light dependent reaction, of course.
What are the chemical compound in plants that absorbs light?
These compounds are known as photosynthetic pigments.
What are the colored chemical compounds in plants that absorb light?
These compounds are known as photosynthetic pigments.
What is the green pigment in chloroplast that holds the suns light?
They are called chlorophyll. They are the photosynthetic pigments
What the colored chemical compound in plants that that absorbs light?
These compounds are known as photosynthetic pigments.
How is chloroplast green?
They contain pigments which absorbs color of light. They reflect green light
Are all pigments photosynthetic?
no
