Pigments {pigment compounds} are chlorophyll, carotenoid, xanthophyll, and physobilin. Light oxidizes pigments. Donated electron adds to NADP+. Electron-transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation make ATP and oxygen.
Chlorophyll a {chlorophyll}| absorbs orange light, and chlorophyll b absorbs red light, making plants green.
Yellow, red, or purple pigments {carotenoid} absorb at different wavelengths.
Carotenoid {physobilin} absorbs blue or red.
Carotenoid {xanthophyll} absorbs yellow.
