Why do photosynthetic pigments absorb only certain wavelengths of light

Asked by admin @ 28/10/2021 in Biology viewed by 275 People

During photosynthesis, specific pigments absorb light energy, which is then used to fuel the building of sugar molecules. which colors correspond to the wavelengths of light that are strongly absorbed by each pigment? some pigments absorb more than one color of light strongly.

Answered by admin @ 28/10/2021

Carotenoids:
- violet-blue

Chlorophyll b:
- orange-red
- violet-blue

Chlorophyll a:
- orange-red
- violet-blue

These are all pigments which colors correspond to the wavelengths of light that are strongly absorbed.
