Where is the pigment located?
Pigment is located in special cells called chromatophores found in various layers of the skin of animals, such as melanocytes in vertebrates and chromatophores in cephalopods. These cells contain pigments that are responsible for giving animals their coloration and patterns.
What is an octopuses favorite color?
yes they only see ocean colour though
What is the function of the beak in cephalopods?
The beak in cephalopods is used for capturing and eating prey. It is a hard, sharp structure located in the center of their arms that helps them break down and eat their food. It is an essential tool for hunting and feeding in cephalopods.
What is mechanism by which chamelion changes different colour?
Chameleons change color through a combination of specialized cells in their skin called chromatophores that contain pigment and reflect light. These cells can expand or contract, allowing the chameleon to manipulate the colors we see on its skin. Environmental factors like temperature, light, and mood can also influence the chameleon's color change.
What elements are found in colored pigments?
are you talking about Chromatophores? pigment-containing and light-reflecting cells found in amphibians, fish, reptiles, crustaceans, and cephalopods. Colours can be from true pigments, such as carotenoids and pteridines or melanin, that appears black or dark brown.
What advantage do cephalopods get their chromatophores?
Camouflage.

What is the purpose of chromatophore?
Chromatophores are spots that change size to change the color of the squid by stretching out the Chromatophores by the muscles.

What are chromatophores?
Chromatophores are pigment-containing and light-reflecting cells found in amphibians, fish, reptiles, crustaceans, and cephalopods. They are largely responsible for generating skin and eye colour in cold-blooded animals and are generated in the neural crest during embryonic development. Mature chromatophores are grouped into subclasses based on their colour (more properly "hue") under white light: xanthophores (yellow), erythrophores (red), iridophores (reflective / iridescent), leucophores (white), melanophores (black/brown) and cyanophores (blue). The term can also refer to coloured, membrane associated vesicles found in some forms of photosynthetic bacteria.
What are the spots on a squid?

What eat cephalopods?
Sharks eat cephalopods
What are the spots on the frogs called?

How do garden lizard changes its color?
It changes it color because of special cells called "chromatophores". These chromatophores contain sacks of color pigments.
What do cephalopods use their tentacles for?
Cephalopods use their tentacles mainly to catch food.
