electrons become excited
What else can I help you with?
Which wavelength of light is absorbed the least by pigments in the spinach extract?
Blue-green. Most plants appear green because they do no absorb green pigments.
If you separate the pigments found in a typical plant cell's chloroplasts what will you find?
You will find chlorophylls and carotenoids, which are the main pigments responsible for capturing light energy in photosynthesis. Chlorophylls are green pigments that absorb blue and red light, while carotenoids are yellow, orange, or red pigments that help broaden the range of light wavelengths that can be absorbed for photosynthesis.
What do dark green leaves absorb?
Dark green leaves absorb mainly blue and red wavelengths of light for photosynthesis, utilizing the chlorophyll pigments to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy. These pigments are less efficient at absorbing green light, which is why plants appear green to our eyes.
Why is it that not all the light that strikes the leaves of a plant is stored as chemical energy?
Not all the light that strikes the leaves of a plant can be stored as chemical energy because some of it is reflected, some is transmitted through the leaf, and some is not absorbed by the photosynthetic pigments in the chloroplasts. This unabsorbed light is not converted into chemical energy through photosynthesis and is either lost as heat or reflected back.
Do all plants have green pigments?
No, not all plants have green pigments. While chlorophyll is the most common pigment that gives plants their green color, some plants may have other pigments like red, yellow, or purple. These pigments can help the plants absorb different wavelengths of light for photosynthesis.
What happens when light strikes green light pigments?
The green pigment found in photosynthetic plants is called chlorophyll; it is responsible for converting sunlight.
How is chloroplast green?
They contain pigments which absorbs color of light. They reflect green light
What color are chlorophyll pigments?
Chlorophyll pigments are green in color. This green pigment is responsible for absorbing light energy during photosynthesis in plants.
When red light strikes a green wall what do you see?
When red light strikes a green wall you see a brown wall!
Which wavelength of light is absorbed the least by pigments in the spinach extract?
Blue-green. Most plants appear green because they do no absorb green pigments.
What pigments absorb light energy during Photosynthesis?
chlorophylls a and b absorb blue and green light.
Leaves apper green because the green portion of the light that strikes them?
Reflected

How does chlorophyll make a LeafGreen?
The pigments in the chlorophyll are green and the reflected light make the plant green.
What gives producers there green color?
The chloroplasts in their cells contain chlorophyll pigments. These pigments absorb sunlight from all from all of the color spectrum except green. That light is used for photosynthesis and the green light is reflected back out and makes the plant look green.
What do dark green leaves absorb?
Dark green leaves absorb mainly blue and red wavelengths of light for photosynthesis, utilizing the chlorophyll pigments to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy. These pigments are less efficient at absorbing green light, which is why plants appear green to our eyes.
What happens to light energy when it strikes what happens to light energy when it strikes a leaf?
When light energy strikes a leaf, some of it is absorbed by pigments in the leaf for photosynthesis, some is reflected, and some is transmitted through the leaf. The absorbed light energy is converted into chemical energy by the leaf for use in metabolic processes.
