The pigments in chloroplasts, there are different colored chloroplasts depending on what type and color the plant is, absorb different types of light. Plants need the light for photosynthesis to occur, for the plant to live.

Where in a leaf is cholrophyll located?

Chlorophyll molecules are specifically arranged in and around pigment protein complexes called photosystems which are embedded in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. The chloroplasts are found in the leaf cells.


What gathers the sun's energy with light-absorbing molecules called pigments?

Photosynthesis is the process that gathers the sun's energy using light-absorbing molecules called pigments, such as chlorophyll. These pigments are located in the chloroplasts of plant cells and capture sunlight, which is then converted into chemical energy to produce glucose and oxygen.


Is chlorophyll in blue bacteria found in chloroplasts?

No, blue-green bacteria do not have chloroplasts. Instead, they contain specialized structures called thylakoids where the photosynthetic pigments, including chlorophyll, are located. These thylakoids are involved in the process of photosynthesis in blue-green bacteria.


What pigments do plants us to carry out photosynthesis?

Plants primarily use two pigments for photosynthesis: chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. These pigments are located in the chloroplasts of plant cells and absorb light energy to drive the photosynthetic process. Chlorophyll gives plants their green color and is essential for capturing sunlight for energy conversion.


What are the accessory pigments and what are their functions?

What part of a plant collects energy from the sun?

Green part of the plant having chlorophyll traps energy


How are pigments involved in the photosynthesis process?

The pigments are responsible for capturing the light energy from the sun and converting it to chemical energy. This is the first step of photosynthesis, so the pigments are responsible for initiating photosynthesis.


What must be present for chlorophyll to exist in plants?

For chlorophyll to exist in plants, they must have certain pigments that are responsible for its production. Additionally, plants must have organelles called chloroplasts where chlorophyll is located. Finally, plants need to carry out the process of photosynthesis to produce chlorophyll.
