CoachPlant pigments are responsible for the colors we see in fruits, flowers, and leaves. They include chlorophyll (green pigment), carotenoids (orange, yellow, and red pigments), and anthocyanins (red, purple, and blue pigments). These pigments play crucial roles in photosynthesis, attracting pollinators, and protecting plants from environmental stress.

What can store plant pigments?
The chloroplasts store pigments. They are found only in plant cells, not animal cells. They store chlorophyll and other pigments.
Why is it beneficial for a plant to have many different pigments?
The pigments in a plant are vital to the process of photosynthesis. This process helps the plant make its own food using the energy from the sun. The variety of pigments allows the plant to grab more energy from the sun.
What will chromatography do to the pigments in the plant extract?
Chromatography will separate the pigments in the plant extract based on their different affinities for the stationary and mobile phases. This separation will allow for the identification and quantification of individual pigments within the extract.
Which pigments in plant is engaged in photosynthesis?
chlorophyll is the pigment present in the plant that is resposible for the process of photosynthesis
What color are the pigments found in a typical plant cells chloroplasts?
The pigments found in a typical plant cell's chloroplasts are mainly chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b, which give plants their green color. These pigments are responsible for capturing light energy during photosynthesis.
