chlorophyll c
This term refers to a specific type of accessory pigment that differs from the more common chlorophyll a and b. It is characterized by its ability to capture light in the blue-green spectrum, which is particularly advantageous in deep-water marine environments where other wavelengths are filtered out.
As a specialized biochemical compound, it is treated as an uncountable mass noun. It describes a substance rather than a discrete object, meaning it does not have a plural form and is typically quantified using terms like concentration, levels, or amount.
Meanings
An accessory pigment found in certain algae, such as diatoms and brown algae, that absorbs light energy and transfers it to chlorophyll a for photosynthesis.
The concentration of chlorophyll c varies depending on the light availability in the aquatic environment.
Examples
I wonder if chlorophyll c is more efficient at absorbing blue light than chlorophyll b.
none
Chlorophyll c transfers absorbed energy directly to the reaction center of chlorophyll a.
none
