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 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.


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 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 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.


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


What are 2 pigments that are found in chloroplast?

The major components are chlorophyll (with two varieties, A and B), where photosynthesis takes place, and, as accessory pigments, carotenoids which are linear polyenes (such as beta-carotene) that function to fill in the absorption spectra of the where chlorophylls do not absorb strongly.
