Question

Which photosynthetic pigment is called universal photosynthesis pigment?

• A. Chlorophyll d
• B. Chlorophyll c
• C. Chlorophyll b
• D. Chlorophyll a

Answer 1

The correct option is D Chlorophyll a

• Chlorophyll a the green pigment common to all photosynthetic cells absorbs all wavelengths of visible light except green, which it reflects to be detected by our eyes.
• All photosynthetic organisms (plants, certain protistans, prochlorobacteria, and cyanobacteria) have chlorophyll a. Chlorophyll a absorbs its energy from the violet-blue and reddish, orange-red wavelengths, and little from the intermediate (green-yellow-orange) wavelengths.

So, the answer is 'Chlorophyll a'.
