Question

Plants use a green pigment A for synthesis of a molecule B. Identify A and find the process from the given options.

• A. A: Xanthophyll; B: Glucose; Process: Respiration
• B. A: Haemoglobin; B: Fructose; Process: Photosynthesis
• C. A: Chlorophyll; B: Glucose; Process: Photosynthesis
• D. A: Chlorophyll; B: ATP; Process: Respiration

Answer 1

The correct option is C A: Chlorophyll; B: Glucose; Process: Photosynthesis

The process of photosynthesis utilises the green pigment for absorption of the sunlight. It converts light energy into chemical energy. The chemical energy formed by the end of photosynthesis is a glucose molecule which is utilised in the respiration process to generate ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) molecules.
