Daffodils and Tulips. Bright yellow spring tulips and daffodils are a symbol of renewal and fresh starts. For this reason, they are believed to bring encouragement and hope to a person who is grieving or unhappy, making them a great choice to send as a sympathy gift to the family home of the departed. Tulips represent elegance and grace.
Plants absorb light primarily using the pigment chlorophyll, which is the reason that most plants have a green color. Besides chlorophyll, plants also use pigments such as carotenes and xanthophylls.These pigments are embedded in plants and algae in special antenna-proteins.
At the bottom of the basal layers of our skin we have these cells call melanocytes. These cells are responsible for the production of melanin through a process called melanogenesis. Melanin is the pigment that gives our skin, eyes and hair its color[1]. It is also one of the several skin chromophores our skin supports. Chromophores are molecules that absorb light. In doing so, they impart a specific color. ( we will discuss light absorption and color in another science post).
