Which pigment do xanthophyll and carotenoid gives??? |
| Answer» Xanthophylls\xa0are a class of oxygen-containing\xa0carotenoid pigments,4 responsible for the color of many of the yellow, orange, and red hues of flowers, fruits, vegetables (corn, pepper, etc.), egg yolks, and feathers, shells, or flesh of many animal species (flamingo, canary, shrimp, lobster, chicken, or salmonids).\xa0Non-photochemical quenching is one of the main ways of protecting against photoinhibition. In higher plants, there are three\xa0carotenoid pigments\xa0that are active in the\xa0xanthophyll\xa0cycle: violaxanthin, antheraxanthin, and zeaxanthin. | |
