What are yellow-orange pigments in a chloroplast?
These pigments are called carotenoids.
What are accessory whorls?
calyx and corolla are called accessory whorl
What are absorbing indicators?
an indicator used in reaction that involve precipitation is called absorbing indicator
What are stacks of thyakoids in chloroplasts called?
They are called granna. They have chlorophyll pigments
What is the green coloring in chloroplasts called?
They are called chlorophylls. They are the photosynthetic pigments
What are carotenoids and phycocyanins called?
accessory pigments
What are membranes called that contain light absorbing pigments?
Thylakoid Membranes
What are Pigments that trap sunlight are called?
Chlorophyll is the green pigment which traps sunlight. This pigment is contained in the chloroplasts.
What gathers the sun's energy with light-absorbing molecules called pigments?
the molecule chlorophyll
Besides chlorophyll what other pigments are found in chloroplasts?
These other pigments are called accessory pigments (red, orange, yellow, brown).
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.
What are the accessory pigments and what are their functions?
red, yellow, orange, or brown
What photosynthesis pigment traps the energy?
There is a wide range of pigments that are used for photosynthesis. However, chlorophyll is responsible for using obtained light energy to excite electrons to move through the transport chain. Many pigments are only capable of transferring energy to chlorophyll, but they are important because they increase the spectrum of the frequencies of light of which the organism can use to photosynthesize. These pigments are called accessory pigments. For a more detailed explanation of these pigments, view the attached link below.

What are the substances that absorb light energy called?
all chemicals that can been seen by the naked eye absorb certain wavelengths of light of the visible light spectrum. it is the light that is absorbed that is what is seen. if a substance (or chemical) were to reflect all wavelengths of light (in the visible spectrum), it would be invisible.
Pigments that expand the range of wavelengths for photosynthesis are called?
Antenna Pigments
