Answer:Photopigments are unstable pigments that undergo a chemical change when they absorb light. The term is generally applied to the non-protein chromophore moiety of photosensitive chromoproteins, such as the pigments involved in photosynthesis and photoreception.

ANSWER:

The main photosensitive component in photo pigment includes the chromophore moiety which is non-protein and chemical compound.

EXPLANATION:

This chromophore is responsible for coloration process. The colour is seen by our eyes with the certain wavelength of spectrum. Some of the chromophores examples are ethylene, acetylene, carbonyl, acid ester and nitrile group. The auxochrome is a 'functional group of atom' with 'one or more' lone pair of electrons attached to it.
