What else can I help you with?
Give an example of accessory pigment?
Carotenoids are an example of accessory pigments found in plants, algae, and some bacteria. They help to broaden the range of light wavelengths that can be absorbed for photosynthesis, working alongside chlorophyll.
What major and accessory pigments are necessary for photosynthesis to be carried out?
Chlorophylls (a, b, c, and d. However, their presence depends on the type of organism); carotenoids and phycobilins are accessory pigments. the pigment necessary for photosynthesis is called chlorophyll, which traps the energy in sunlight. it is present in chloroplasts, which are small disc-shaped structures present in a plant cell.
How do accessory pigments differ in function from chlorophyll and how do they affect the appearance of algae and the depths at which algae can grow?
Accessory pigments absorb light at different wavelengths than does chlorophyll. This process tends to increase the range of depths at which algae can grow. For example, the reddish accessory pigments called phycobilins are especially good at absorbing the blue light found at great depths in the sea, allowing the algae that contain them to live in deep water. Because accessory pigments reflect different wavelengths of light than does chlorophyll, they give algae a wide range of colors.
What are Pigments that trap sunlight are called?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment which traps sunlight. This pigment is contained in the chloroplasts.
What major2and accessory4pigments are necessary for photosynthesis to be carried out?
The two major pigments necessary for photosynthesis are chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. A key accessory pigment is carotenoids, which help to broaden the range of light wavelengths that can be used for photosynthesis.
Are photosynthetic pigments and accessory pigments the same?
No, photosynthetic pigments are the main pigments involved in capturing light energy for photosynthesis, such as chlorophyll. Accessory pigments are additional pigments that assist in light absorption and broaden the range of light wavelengths that can be utilized for photosynthesis, such as carotenoids and phycobilins.
What colors do accessory pigments reflect?
Accessory pigments typically reflect colors such as red, orange, and yellow. These pigments help plants absorb a wider range of wavelengths of light for photosynthesis.
How do you do photosynthesis?
People cannot perform photosynthesis, in Autumn when tree leaves change colors that is what photosynthesis is. In Autumn, the chlorophyll pigments break down and reveal the presence of accessory pigments.
What major 2 and accessory 4 pigments are necessary for Photosynthesis to be carried out?
a-z
What specific wavelengths do the accessory pigments absorb and why is it important to photosynthesis?
blue and red

What color are accessory pigments?
Accessory pigments in plants can be various colors such as red, yellow, or orange. These pigments, like carotenoids and anthocyanins, help plants absorb different wavelengths of light for photosynthesis and also provide protection against excess light and stress.
What is a non photosynthetic pigment?
A non-photosynthetic pigment is a pigment that does not participate directly in the process of photosynthesis. These pigments can have various functions in organisms, such as serving as accessory pigments in capturing light energy, protecting against harmful light frequencies, or functioning in processes unrelated to photosynthesis. Examples include carotenoids, anthocyanins, and melanin.
Explain the function of the accessory pigments?
well, accessory pigments include chlorophyllb. It absorbs energy that chlorophyll a does not absorb. And it also helps enable plants to capture more of the energy in light. ^_^
What is the difference between primary pigment and accessory pigment?
The main difference is the wavelengths of light that they absorb and reflect, this allows plants to make use of more wavelengths of light. Primary pigments also create electrons directly, however I can't seem to find what the accessory pigments do instead...anyways, hope that helps
How do accessory pigments differ from chlorophyll a?
Accessory Pigments absorb energy that chlorophyll a does not absorb.
A qroup of accessory pigments that includes betacarontene?
Carotenoids are a group of accessory pigments that include beta-carotene. They are responsible for the yellow, orange, and red pigments found in fruits and vegetables, and they play a key role in photosynthesis by assisting in light absorption.
