What do chloroplasts use to absorb sunlight energy?
They use photosynthetic pigments.Pigments absorb specific wave lengths.
Why do algae have different photosynthetic pigments from plants?
Algae have different photosynthetic pigments because they inhabit diverse environments and need to adapt to varying light conditions. The different pigments enable algae to absorb light efficiently across a wider range of wavelengths, allowing them to thrive in environments that may not be suitable for land plants.
How does it benefit a plant to have Multiple pigments?
different pigments have different wavelengths of light which it can absorb... so helps to increase the range of wavelengths of light that can be absorbed... also helps to avoid photo oxidation of the main plant pigment..
Why are pigments such as anthocyanins coloured?
These pigments absorb specific wavelengths of visible light while scattering the remaining light.
Substances in plastids that absorb various wavelengths of light?
Chlorophylls and carotenoids are the main pigments found in plastids that absorb various wavelengths of light in photosynthesis. These pigments help capture and convert light energy into chemical energy to drive the process of photosynthesis in plants.

Why do different pigments have different colors?
Different pigments absorb light of different wavelengths.

What specific wavelengths do the accessory pigments absorb and why is it important to photosynthesis?
blue and red

What is a term that describes substances that absorb some wavelengths of light?
Pigments are substances that absorb some wavelengths of light and reflect or transmit others, giving them their color.
What compound do many algae have to help them absorb light at different wavelengths?
Accessory pigments
Why is chlorophyll not black?
AnswerPurple Halobacterium evolved before chlorophyll-containing organisms.The photosynthetic Halobacterium absorbed green light so other organismspossibly evolved chlorophyll to absorb nongreen wavelengths and fill anecological niche. Also it is believed that possibly black would just absorball forms of light including ones that could be harmful to the plant.I think that's what you're asking.
Why do some of the pigments appear yellow to your eyes while others appear green?
The color of a pigment is determined by the wavelengths of light it absorbs and reflects. Pigments that appear yellow absorb shorter wavelengths of light, reflecting longer wavelengths which we perceive as yellow. Green pigments absorb longer wavelengths, reflecting shorter wavelengths which we perceive as green.
