What else can I help you with?
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.
Do chloroplasts have thylakoids?
yes. it contains chlorophyll, carotenoids phycobilins, and anthocyannins.
What substance are chloroplast fill with?
They have photosynthetic pigments. Mainly they are chlorophylls.
What is the substance in chloroplast which absorbs light?
Chlorophyll is the primary molecule. Photosynthetic organisms also rely on other accessory pigments to absorb photons that chlorophyll can not. Carotenoids and phycobilins are common examples. There are many others that can contribute in various organisms.
What is the photosynthetic pigment in cynobacteria?
The primary photosynthetic pigment in cyanobacteria is chlorophyll a, which is similar to the chlorophyll found in higher plants. In addition to chlorophyll a, cyanobacteria also contain accessory pigments such as phycobilins (including phycocyanin and phycoerythrin) that aid in capturing light energy, particularly in low-light conditions. These pigments contribute to the characteristic blue-green color of cyanobacteria and enhance their ability to perform photosynthesis across various light wavelengths.
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.
Are there photosynthetic pigments in radicchio?
No, there are no photosynthetic pigments in Radicchio.
What will happen to the atoms of the photosynthetic pigments when they are exposed to wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum above or below the spectrum of visible light?
Nothing would happen as chlorophyll absorbs only visible light but phycobilins can absorb heat also .
Do chloroplasts have thylakoids?
yes. it contains chlorophyll, carotenoids phycobilins, and anthocyannins.
How do organisms capture light energy?
By using photosynthetic pigments. Primary pigments are the chlorophylls
Are all pigments photosynthetic?
no

What has phycobilins?
Phycobilins are pigment molecules found in red algae, cyanobacteria, and some cryptomonads. They are accessory pigments that help these organisms carry out photosynthesis in low-light environments by absorbing different wavelengths of light than chlorophyll.
What is the photosynthetic pigment in cynobacteria?
The primary photosynthetic pigment in cyanobacteria is chlorophyll a, which is similar to the chlorophyll found in higher plants. In addition to chlorophyll a, cyanobacteria also contain accessory pigments such as phycobilins (including phycocyanin and phycoerythrin) that aid in capturing light energy, particularly in low-light conditions. These pigments contribute to the characteristic blue-green color of cyanobacteria and enhance their ability to perform photosynthesis across various light wavelengths.
What function do photosynthetic pigments other than chlorophyll serve?
Photosynthetic pigments other than chlorophyll mostly participate in the energy-transfer processes just as chlorophyll. They can also function to protect the photosynthetic reaction center from auto-oxidation. In non-photosynthesizing organisms they have been linked to oxidation-preventing mechanisms.They can also serve as free radical scavengers.
What are examples of accessory pigments for photosynthesis?
Some examples are carotenoids and phychobiliprotein. Chlorophyll is not an accessory pigment. Accessory pigments are pigments which work alongside Chlorophyll a in photosynthesis, such as carotene.
