Plants need different pigments because it has to get different colors of light. Then they have to absorb different colors. The colors that it reflects are the colors the plant is.

Plants need a lot of different pigments to perform photoysnthesis because they need to absorb different colors of light. The more pigments they have, the more colors it absorbs. That is why they need a lot of different pigments to perform photosynthesis.

Plants need the different types of pigments because they are used to absorb different types of lights which are used in photosynthesis to excite the eletrons.

many plants need different pigments to perform photosynthesis becuase it needs different colors. They absorb different colors. There is also some color that is reflected.

They need the different pigments so that they can absorb different colors or amouts of light. The colors that are reflected are the colors that we see.

Plants need the different pigments to perform photosynthesis in order for them to give off light. this light makes the colors of the roots, stems, leaves, and pedals.

Plants need different pigments because there are different colors of the spectrum. The different pigments help the plants absorb more sunlight. Absorbing more sunlight helps photosynthesis operate better.

Plants need many different pigments to perform photosynthesis. These different colors help the plants absorb the more light. Photosynthesis needs light to work. Then the leaves will reflect and look different colors.

Plants need the different types of pigments so they are used to absorb several different types of light which are used in photosynthesis to excite the eletrons
