n
(biology) The yellowish-green pigment in the inner segment of the cones of the retina.
n
(biochemistry) Any of a group of green pigments that are found in the chloroplasts of plants and in other photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria.
n
The universal chlorophyll (C₅₅H₇₂MgN₄O₅) essential to the dominant oxygenic photosynthesis I process, present in all eukaryotes, cyanobacteria, chromists, and prochlorophytes that photosynthesize, and that contributes to the observed green color of these organisms.
n
A chlorophyll (C₅₅H₇₀MgN₄O₆) used in the photosynthesis II oxygenic photosynthesis process in plants which absorbs a different range of light and is therefore useful for plants adapted to shade.
n
(biology) Any of a group of hormones responsible for colour change in some crabs
adj
(biology, of a bacterium) That excretes a pigment
n
(biology) Any of several colouring matters, red, green, yellow, etc., present in the inner segments in the cones of the retina, held in solution by fats, and slowly decolorized by light; distinct from the photochemical pigments of the rods of the retina.
n
(biology) Any plant pigment (such as chlorophyll)
n
The pigment present in cone cells of the eye
n
An often colourless compound that affects the colour of a plant flower pigment.
n
(biochemistry) Any of several light-sensitive flavoproteins, involved in the circadian rhythms of plants and animals, and possibly also in the sensing of magnetic fields.
n
A poisoning carried out with cyanide.
n
A chromatophore that appears blue under white light.
n
Any pigment present in a biological cell
n
A chromatophore that appears red under white light
n
(biochemistry) Any of a group of proteins, resistant to proteases, associated with the germination of cereals
n
A valuable metal alloy in antiquity, thought to have been an alloy of copper with gold and silver, mixed and treated to produce a material with a dark purplish patina.
adj
Of, relating to, or derived from milk.
n
The formation of brown pigments as part of the Maillard reaction.
n

n
Any of several visual pigments, occurring in the eyes of crustaceans and insects, that are responsible for the eye's colour
n
Any of a class of water-soluble proteins, present in cyanobacteria and certain algae, that capture light energy which is then passed on to chlorophylls during photosynthesis; the most important constituents of the phycobilisomes.
n
A light-harvesting antenna in cyanobacteria, red algae and glaucophytes.
n
(biochemistry) Any of a class of pigments that control most photomorphogenic responses in higher plants
n
A pigment that is converted to chlorophyll by the action of light
n
The proteobacteria that produce their own food using photosynthesis, with colors including purple, red, brown, and orange.
n
Alternative form of siderophile [(chemistry, geology) In the Goldschmidt classification, an element that forms alloys easily with iron and is concentrated in the Earth's core.]
n
(biochemistry) Any of a class of pigments related to melanin and found in human hair.
n
A leucophore arising from a xanthophore.
n
Any animal (including human) pigment
n
(zoology) Alternative spelling of zooerythrin [A red carotenoid pigment present in the feathers of some birds.]
