A pigment is a material that changes the color of reflected or transmitted light as the result of wavelength-selective absorption. Green Pigments in plants, mainly Chlorophyll is an extremely important biomolecule, critical in Photosynthesis, which allows plants to obtain energy from light. It absorbs mostly blue light and then red light from the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum and reflects Green Light.
So, all the plants are green in color and it got a name Green pigment.

What major pigment is of photosynthetic autotrophs?
the major photosynthetic pigments are green chlorophyll and yellow and green pigments where as yellow and green divide into carotenoid and xanophyll
Which wavelength of light is absorbed the least by pigments in the spinach extract?
Blue-green. Most plants appear green because they do no absorb green pigments.
Why is alcohol and not water used to remove green pigments?
These pigments are more soluble in alcohol.
If orange and yellow pigments are present in a leaf why does the leaf appear green in color?
Because there are much more chlorophyll which make them green than green and orange pigments.
If you separate the pigments found in a typical plant cell's chloroplasts what will you find?
Green, Orange, and Red Pigments.
What types of pigments does a cactus absorb or deflect?
The pigments something reflects is the color of that object. The cactus is green, so it reflects green and uses every other pigment for photosynthesis.
Why are the leafs are green?
The leaves are green because of the chlorophyll pigments.
What color are chlorophyll pigments?
Chlorophyll pigments are green.
What type of cell uses chloroplasts?
plant cells use chloroplasts to get energy from the sun by the green pigments inside of them called chlorophyll.
How is chloroplast green?
They contain pigments which absorbs color of light. They reflect green light
What major pigment is of photosynthetic autotrophs?
the major photosynthetic pigments are green chlorophyll and yellow and green pigments where as yellow and green divide into carotenoid and xanophyll
Which wavelength of light is absorbed the least by pigments in the spinach extract?
Blue-green. Most plants appear green because they do no absorb green pigments.
What other pigments present in a leaf?
There are three pigments that are found in a geranium leaf. The three pigments are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids.
What is chlorophyll's pigment?
green pigments
What pigments do leafs contain?
All of the pigments except for green. Leaves are green because that is the only color not absorbed and therefore is reflected.
Why is alcohol and not water used to remove green pigments?
These pigments are more soluble in alcohol.
If orange and yellow pigments are present in a leaf why does the leaf appear green in color?
Because there are much more chlorophyll which make them green than green and orange pigments.
