Which are the 2 types of photosynthetic pigments?
chlorophyll and carotenoid
How do you distinguish the anthocyanin pigments and chromoplasts?
chromoplasts have red and orange carotenoid pigments, that anthocyanins do not have.
Why are the carotenoid colors visible in the fall?
Carotenoids are pigments responsible for yellow, orange, and red colors in leaves. In the fall, chlorophyll production decreases, allowing carotenoid pigments to become more visible as they were masked by chlorophyll during the growing season. This change in pigmentation causes the vibrant fall colors we see.
What is the chemical name Anato Powder?
Anato powder is derived from the seeds of the Annatto tree, which contains the natural pigment bixin. Bixin is a carotenoid compound that gives the powder its red-orange color, commonly used as a natural food coloring agent.
In a photosystem clusters of chlorophyll a chlorophyllb and carotenoid pigments function most like what?
Clusters of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoid pigments in a photosystem function most similarly to antenna complexes in capturing and transferring light energy. These pigments absorb light at different wavelengths and transfer the energy to the reaction center chlorophyll to drive the photosynthetic process.
What is the calculation for total carotenoid determination?

What is an apocarotenoid?
An apocarotenoid is a compound formed by the removal of fragments of the carbon backbone of a carotenoid.
