Question

In the process of photosynthesis, light energy is absorbed by

• A. RuBP
• B. oxygen molecule
• C. $C{O}_2$
• D. chlorophyll

Answer 1

The correct option is D chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is light-absorbing pigments that are involved in entrapping the sunlight for photosynthesis in plants.

Carbondioxide is a primary ingredient in photosynthesis.

The oxygen molecule is the byproduct of the photosynthesis reaction.

RuBP is a five-carbon molecule which is the first primary acceptor of CO${}_2$during the Calvin cycle or dark reaction.
