NEETBotanyPhotosynthesis in Higher Plants
Observation Related Finding A. Maximum absorption of chlorophyll a 1. Occurs in the blue and red regions of the spectrum. B. Maximum photosynthesis rate 2. Correlates with wavelengths of maximum chlorophyll a absorption. C. Chlorophyll a as the chief pigment 3. Blue (around 430 nm) and red (around 662 nm). D. Wavelengths at which chlorophyll a shows absorption peaks 4. Responsible for the majority of photosynthesis i
Options
- AA - 1, B - 2, C - 4, D - 3
- BA - 3, B - 4, C - 2, D - 1
- CA - 2, B - 1, C - 4, D - 3
- DA - 4, B - 3, C - 1, D - 2
Correct answer
A. A - 1, B - 2, C - 4, D - 3
Step-by-step solution
A - 1: Chlorophyll a shows maximum absorption in the blue and red regions. B - 2: The highest rate of photosynthesis occurs at wavelengths where chlorophyll a absorbs maximally. C - 4: Chlorophyll a is the primary pigment responsible for the majority of photosynthesis in plants. D - 3: Chlorophyll a has absorption peaks in the blue (around 430 nm) and red (around 662 nm) regions.
