The statements that are correct concerning the pigments used during photosynthesis are: - The color of the pigment molecule will match the colors that it absorbs. - The photosynthetic pigments are located within the thylakoid lumen/space. - Pigment molecules typically contain large hydrophobic sections. - Plants can absorb a variety of light colors since they contain a variety of pigments. - All of the light energy used by plants is collected/absorbed by chlorophyll a and b.

In addition to the pigments commonly associated with photosynthesis, a certain photosynthetic species contains two additional pigment types. Which of the following best supports the claim that this species is better adapted to environmental changes than other photosynthetic species are? a) The additional pigments allow the species to outcompete other species for the wavelengths of light commonly used in photosynthesis. b) The increased pigment concentration better facilitates energy production within the cells of the species. c) The pigment combination allows the organism to absorb heat as well as light, making better use of available energy. d) The additional pigments allow the species containing them to harvest energy from wavelengths of light that the other photosynthetic species cannot use.

Question 3 Accessory pigments (Select all that apply) are xanthophylls, chlorophyll b, and carotene all of the choices are correct broaden the spectrum of visible light that can be absorbed and utilized for photosynthesis are the main photosynthetic pigments in plants
Which of the following statements is incorrect? a. Pigments absorb light of certain wavelengths only. b. Some accessory pigments are antioxidants. c. Chlorophyll is green because it absorbs green light.
