Question

Photosystem has main light harvesting pigments

• A. Chlorophyll a-660, chl a-670, chl a-680, chl a-690, chl a-700
• B. Chlorophyll a-660, chl b, chl a-700, chl a-800 and carotenoid
• C. Chlorophyll a-680, chl a-685, chl a-695 and xanthophyll
• D. Chlorophyll a-700, chl a-880, chl-b, chl a-685 and phycobilins.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Chlorophyll a-660, chl b, chl a-700, chl a-800 and carotenoid

Photosystems contain green plastids that contain various pigments that absorb sunlight get excited or activated at a different wavelength.

1. Chlorophyll a between 660 nm to 800 nm.
2. Chlorophyll b between 680 nm.
3. Carotenoids have a various wavelength.
4. So the correct option is 'Chlorophyll a-660, chl b, chl a-700, chl a-800 and carotenoid'
