Not by definition, and maybe yes and maybe no. Antibiotic is a term generally applied to something created by a micro-organism that inhibits the growth of other micro-organisms. In general, diffusible pigments are not antibiotic by this definition. But as regards whether or not such a pigment will inhibit micro-organic growth, some will and some won't.

Why doesn't the action spectrum for photosynthesis exactly match the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a?

The action spectrum for photosynthesis doesn't exactly match the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a because other pigments, like chlorophyll b and carotenoids, also play a role in capturing light energy for photosynthesis. These additional pigments have absorption peaks at different wavelengths, contributing to the overall light absorption by the plant. As a result, the combined absorption spectra of all pigments involved in photosynthesis do not perfectly align with the action spectrum.


Are all pigments photosynthetic?

Why does markers change the color of the paper when dipped in water?

Markers contain water-soluble pigments that are designed to dissolve in water, causing them to spread and change color when they come in contact with water. This effect is due to the water breaking down the pigments and releasing the colors from the marker onto the paper.

Do all plants have green pigments?

No, not all plants have green pigments. While chlorophyll is the most common pigment that gives plants their green color, some plants may have other pigments like red, yellow, or purple. These pigments can help the plants absorb different wavelengths of light for photosynthesis.

Are all pigments found in plants involved in photosynthesis?

No. All pigments found in plants are not involved in photosynthesis. In fact, the greatest variety of colored pigments are found in flower pedals and are used to attract pollinators among other things.
