Solution Summary

Common plant photosynthesis pigments are examined.

Solution Preview

Photosynthetic organisms harvest energy from light to synthesize ATP (adenosine triphosphate), in which the energy is stored as chemical energy and used in a diverse array of metabolic pathways. Plants have evolved specialized organelles whose purpose is to convert light energy into chemical energy. These organelles are called chloroplasts. Within chloroplasts are sacs of membranes called thylakoids. The thylakoids have vast arrays of aggregates of pigments (called antennae complexes) bound by a protein matrix.

Pigments in plants are much like the familiar pigments in daily life like in the paint of your favorite artwork or a T-shirt. ...

  • Effect of no carotinoids, phycocyaninn on plant photosynthesis

    9531 A plant is lacking carotinoids and phycocyanins. What would you expect the rate of photosynthesis curve to look like and why? These two are pigments present along with chlorophyl.

  • Absorption Spectrum of Pigments

    Chlorophyll, the green pigment common to all photosynthetic cells, absorbs all wavelengths of visible light except green, which it reflects to be detected by our eyes. Black pigments absorb all of the wavelengths that strike them.

  • Chlorophyll and Accessory Pigments

    Chlorophyll, the green pigment common to all photosynthetic cells, absorbs all wavelengths of visible light except green, which it reflects to be detected by our eyes. Black pigments absorb all of the wavelengths that strike them.

  • Why Leaves Change Color

    Photosynthetic pigments come in a variety of colors including green, orange, and yellow. These pigments, called xanthophylls (yellow) and carotenoids (orange), are present in leaves all of the time, but in small quantities.

  • Absorption Spectrum of Photosynthetic Pigments

    152994 Absorption Spectrum of Photosynthetic Pigments I am confused about the concept of absorption spectrum of spinach pigments. I am looking for the visible spectrum of four main pigments in spinach. But what should I expect from each pigment?

  • Plants with leaves of some color other than green

    A third form of chlorophyll which is common is (not surprisingly) called chlorophyll "c", and is found only in the photosynthetic members of the Chromista as well as the dinoflagellates.

  • Understanding photosynthesis.

    Chlorophylls absorb blue and red light and carotenoids absorb blue-green light, but green and yellow light are not effectively absorbed by photosynthetic pigments in plants; therefore, light of these colors is either reflected by leaves or passes through

  • Structure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells compared

    In bacteria, the photosynthetic pigments that harvest light energy for conversion into chemical energy are also located in the membrane. Membranes may contain other enzymes involved in many metabolic processes.

  • What happens in the fall when leaves change colors?

    Plants absorb light energy using special molecules called photosynthetic pigments (predominantly chlorophylls). These pigments absorb most of the visible light except for wavelengths in the green part of the spectrum.
