The pigments in a plant are vital to the process of photosynthesis. This process helps the plant make its own food using the energy from the sun. The variety of pigments allows the plant to grab more energy from the sun.

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..


How many chlorophyll pigments present in chloroplast?

Chlorophyll is NOT the only pigment contained in a plant cell because all chlorophyll does is give the plant its green color. so do you think tat the only pigment in plant cells would be hte one that gives the plant its color? I DONT THINK SO. there are many pigments in plant cells


How many different pigments might be identified through the separation process?

Hundreds of different pigments can be identified through the separation process using techniques like chromatography or spectrophotometry. Pigments such as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids, and anthocyanins are commonly detected in plants.

Why aren't all plants green?

there are different pigments in the world of plants the most common pigment has the color green thats why many plants are green but there are also some different pigments like purple, yellow, orange, blue, ect. different colors depend on the: plant, environment, sunlight, soil, hight, ect. they also do different things in the plant than a normal green pigment like the way of growth or strange abnormalities, even in the green pigment there are some abnormalities.

Are plant cells capable of photosynthesis?

Organisms that have photosynthetic pigments most always photosynthesize. Plants, many types algea and protists are capable of photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria, prokaryotic organisms, are also capable of photosynthesis. All these organisms contain chlorophyl a, but they all have a different set of pigments. There are different classes of these pigments: chlorophyll, cartenoids, and phycobilins. For a more detailed description of these pigments, see the link below.

What compound do many algae have to help them absorb light at different wavelengths?

Accessory pigments


Red orange and yellow pigments?

Yes!There are other pigments, such as the yellow and orange plant pigments. These pigments give fall plants, many fruits, flowers, and vegetables their color. These pigments are known as carotenoids.


How will colored light affect plant growth?

plants absorb light to gain energy in turn provide growth. the plant has many different pigments for absorbing light. the reason a plant is green is because it reflects green light. therefore if a plant is placed in green light it will not grow to its full potential. hence the same with plants of other colours.

Why do green plants have non green accessory pigments?

For many trees during the fall, chloroplasts die out and the plant loses the green look. When this occurs, other plastids such as chromoplasts must provide the plant with photosynthesis.
