anonymous · Answer

what is the deference between plant pigment and green pigment  ?

anonymous · Answer

The chlorophyll a molecules within reaction centers are capable of directly absorbing light and initiating photosynthesis. However, even at the maximum light intensity encountered by photosynthetic organisms (tropical noontime sun, ≈1.2 × 1020 photons/m2/s), each reaction-center chlorophyll a absorbs about one photon per second, which is not enough to support photosynthesis sufficient for the needs of the plant. To increase the efficiency of photosynthesis, especially at more typical light intensities, organisms utilize additional light-absorbing pigments.

in plant pigment caretenoids,, xanthophyll are also included along with green pigment but if u talk only about green pigment then it is chlorophyll which is of further two types but universally we only talk about chl-a
