What color are accessory pigments?
Accessory pigments in plants can be various colors such as red, yellow, or orange. These pigments, like carotenoids and anthocyanins, help plants absorb different wavelengths of light for photosynthesis and also provide protection against excess light and stress.
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. ^_^
Are rodophyta contained chlorophyll?
yes they contained, they also cntained other accessory pigments like phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, carotene, and xanthphyll.
Why do plants contain other pigments besides chlorophyll?
Plants contain other pigments besides chlorophyll to enhance their ability to absorb light and protect against damage from excess sunlight. Carotenoids, for example, capture light in different wavelengths and contribute to photosynthesis, while also providing photoprotection. Additionally, pigments like anthocyanins can deter herbivores and attract pollinators, playing a crucial role in plant reproduction and survival. This diversity in pigments allows plants to adapt to various environmental conditions and optimize their energy conversion.
What pigment is present in phaeophyta?
Phaeophyta, commonly known as brown algae, primarily contain the pigment fucoxanthin, which gives them their characteristic brown color. In addition to fucoxanthin, they also possess chlorophyll a and c, as well as other accessory pigments that aid in photosynthesis. These pigments allow brown algae to efficiently capture light energy in deeper waters where light is limited.

What is the difference between primary pigment and accessory pigment?
The main difference is the wavelengths of light that they absorb and reflect, this allows plants to make use of more wavelengths of light. Primary pigments also create electrons directly, however I can't seem to find what the accessory pigments do instead...anyways, hope that helps

What are the functions of accessory pigments?
Accessory pigments in plants and algae help to capture additional wavelengths of light that chlorophyll cannot absorb effectively. They broaden the range of light that can be used for photosynthesis, increasing the efficiency of the process. Additionally, they help protect chlorophyll from damage caused by excess light intensity.
What are the accessory pigments and what are their functions?
red, yellow, orange, or brown
What does Plants use pigments to collect or trap?
Plants use pigments to collect or trap light energy for photosynthesis. Pigments such as chlorophyll absorb specific wavelengths of light, which are then converted into chemical energy that the plant can use to produce sugars and other molecules needed for growth and development.
What plant pigments are found in plants other than the green pigments?
Carotene - an orange pigmentXanthophyll - a yellow pigmentPhaeophytin a[1] - a gray-brown pigmentPhaeophytin b[1] - a yellow-brown pigmentThese are some of the other pigments found in plants other than green 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.

How do accessory pigments differ in function from chlorophyll and how do they affect the appearance of algae and the depths at which algae can grow?
Accessory pigments absorb light at different wavelengths than does chlorophyll. This process tends to increase the range of depths at which algae can grow. For example, the reddish accessory pigments called phycobilins are especially good at absorbing the blue light found at great depths in the sea, allowing the algae that contain them to live in deep water. Because accessory pigments reflect different wavelengths of light than does chlorophyll, they give algae a wide range of colors.
Is the major light-absorbing pigment in plants is chlorophyll?
Yes, although there are also other (albeit minor) pigments that also contribute to photosynthesis
