What traps light energy during photosynthesis?
the answer is chloroplasts
When light energy from the Sun strikes a leaf how is the energy conserved?
When light energy strikes a leaf then chlorophill (a) present in leaf absorb that light energy . By use of that energy photosynthesis occurs.
What is the main function of the chloroplasts?
Chloroplast absorb light and use it for preparing food for the plants. This process is called photosynthesis.
Light excites in photosynthetic pigments?
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.
What is another name for light dependent reations of photosynthesis?
The exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy (photosynthesis). The product of light dependant reactions is called endergonic reaction. It is a chemical reaction that requires energy.
What do pigments absorb during photosynthesis?
light energy
Which best explains the role of plant pigments in photosynthesis?
They absorb light energy.
Is it the light absorbed or light reflected that initiates the light reactions of photosynthesis?
Pigments in chloroplasts absorb light energy in the form of photons during the light reactions of photosynthesis.
Which substance is a green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs energy for photo system?
Chlorophyll
What is the energy for the photosynthesis to go inside the chloroplasts?
It Is sun light. pigments absorb sun light.
What is primary plants pigment that absorbs sunlight during photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll is the primary pigment that absorbs sunlight during photosynthesis. It is the pigment that is able to absorb the light energy and convert it into chemical energy by loosing electrons easily when struck by light.
How do accessory pigments differ from chlorophyll a?
Accessory Pigments absorb energy that chlorophyll a does not absorb.
What do plants have these other pigments besides chlorophyll?
That is for efficient photosynthesis. More energy can be absorbed
How does plants enable to trap energy from the sun?
Sunlight is needed by plants to create photosynthesis. This is how the plants collect and store energy in order to thrive and grow, The sunlight is converted to energy that the plant needs.
What is photosynthetic pigment?
photosynthesis pigments are molecules that absorb light energy. each pigments absorbs rang of wavelength in the visible region and own distinct peak. and other wavelength's are reflected
What does a thylakoid do during photosynthesis?
Energy is transferred to electrons in cholophyll and other pigments in the choloroplasts
What is an energy converting organelle found in plants and algae cell?
Chloroplast containing pigments that can absorb light and convert this energy into a chemical form, through photosynthesis and the Calvin cycle.
