Photosynthetic pigments A photosynthetic pigment is a coloured biological compound that is present in chloroplasts and photosynthetic bacteria, and which captures light energy for photosynthesis. In plants there are two types of pigments: chlorophylls and carotenoids. They are coloured because they absorb particular wavelengths of light and reflect others. Chlorophyll is the pigment that gives plants their green colour by reflecting green light. Carotenoids reflect red, orange or yellow light. Photosynthetic pigments Photosynthetic pigments
