What does a cromotogram tell you about the colours in the clorophyll?

A chromotogram shows the different pigments present in chlorophyll, with each pigment represented by a distinct band. This helps identify the specific colors present in the chlorophyll sample based on the separation of pigments. Different pigments will show up as different colored bands on the chromotogram.


What color are chlorophyll pigments?

Besides chlorophyll what other pigments are found in chloroplasts?

Other pigments found in chloroplasts include carotenoids (such as beta-carotene and xanthophylls) and anthocyanins. These pigments help in capturing different wavelengths of light for photosynthesis and also provide protection against oxidative damage.


In a photosystem clusters of chlorophyll a chlorophyllb and carotenoid pigments function most like what?

Clusters of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoid pigments in a photosystem function most similarly to antenna complexes in capturing and transferring light energy. These pigments absorb light at different wavelengths and transfer the energy to the reaction center chlorophyll to drive the photosynthetic process.


Which substance is a green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs energy for photo system?

Chlorophyll
