a. xanthophyll
b. carotenoid
c. chlorophyll a
d. chlorophyll b.
Range of wavelength at which chlorophyll-a shows the maximum absorption:
a. 400-450 nm
b. 450-500 nm
c. 650-700 nm
d. 500-600 nm.
Which of the following is the chief pigment associated with photosynthesis?
1. chl-a
2. chl-b
3. chl- a and xanthophylls
4. chl-a and carotenoids
How statements are correct?
i. chlorophyll-a , xanthophylls and carotenoids are called as accessory pigments.
ii. accessory pigments protect chlorophyll-a from photo-oxidation.
iii. chlorophylla are the major pigments responsible for trapping of light

a. 2
b. 3
c. 4
d. 5

a. water splitting
b. oxygen release
c. CO2 assimilation
d. light absorption
Which of the following statement is incorrect?
| 1. | Reaction centre is formed by a group of chl- a molecules. |
