What is a pigment and their function in photosynthesis?
chlorophyl is the pigment i think. it is in the leaves of plants, that is where the photosynthesis takes place.
Chlorophyll. These pigments convert sunlight into glucose and some more stuff . It also gives leaves their green colour
a pigment is any substance that absorbs light. 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. white pigments/lighter colors reflect all or almost all of the energy striking them. pigments have their own characteristic absorption spectra, the absorption pattern of a given pigment. a photosynthetic pigment or chloroplast pigment is a pigment that is present in chloroplasts or photosynthetic bacteria. its function is to capture the light energy necessary for photosynthesis. :)
