Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Molecules that absorb light energy are called ____
A
stromas
B
chloroplasts
C
pigments
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A pigment is a molecule that has a particular color and can absorb light at different wavelengths, depending on the color. There are many different types of pigments in nature, but chlorophyll is unique in its ability to enable plants to absorb the energy they need to build tissues.

Detailed explanation-2: -Molecules called pigments absorb energy from light. The main pigment in photosynthesis is called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll exists in several different forms in different organisms. Chlorophyll a is the main photosynthetic pigment found in land plants and algae.

Detailed explanation-3: -Instead, photosynthetic organisms contain light-absorbing molecules called pigments that absorb only specific wavelengths of visible light, while reflecting others. The set of wavelengths absorbed by a pigment is its absorption spectrum.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chlorophyll: Absorbing Light Energy for Photosynthesis. from. Chapter 8 / Lesson 7. 51K. In photosynthesis, chlorophyll and other pigments absorb wavelengths from sunlight, which excites the electrons contained in them.

Detailed explanation-5: -Pigment molecules in plants absorb and transfer solar energy using a special arrangement that funnels light toward a reaction center. The process of photosynthesis in plants involves a series of steps and reactions that use solar energy, water, and carbon dioxide to produce organic compounds.
