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 do chlorophyll and accessory pigments allow algae to do?
Chlorophyll and accessory pigments allow algae to get energy from the sun. This is used for manufacturing of food by the algae.
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.
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. ^_^
A qroup of accessory pigments that includes betacarontene?
Carotenoids are a group of accessory pigments that include beta-carotene. They are responsible for the yellow, orange, and red pigments found in fruits and vegetables, and they play a key role in photosynthesis by assisting in light absorption.
What color are the accessory pigments?
red, yellow, orange, or brown
How do accessory pigments differ from chlorophyll a?
Accessory Pigments absorb energy that chlorophyll a does not absorb.
Why are accessory pigments not visible?
Accessory pigments such as carotenoids are not usually visible because they absorb light in different regions of the spectrum than chlorophyll. This means they do not contribute significantly to the overall color of the plant. Additionally, chlorophyll is present in much higher concentrations, masking the colors of accessory pigments.
When do you see accessory pigments the most?
Accessory pigments are mostly seen through light. The more the light is shown the more pigments there will be.
Do accessory pigments include yellow and orange pigments?
ice cream
What is an allophycocyanin?
In biochemistry, an allophycocyanine is any of a group of accessory pigments to chlorophyll.
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 do chlorophyll and accessory pigments allow algae to do?
Chlorophyll and accessory pigments allow algae to get energy from the sun. This is used for manufacturing of food by the algae.
Where are accessory pigments found in photosynthese?
Chloropyhll
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.
What are the yellow accessory pigments found in leaves?
xanthophylls
Why don't accessory pigments show in the leaf?
Because the pigments eventualy shrivel up and dissappear.
