What is the key difference between the reaction center chlorophyll molecule and other pigment molecules in a photosystem?
1. Reaction center chlorophyll molecules are less abundant than other pigments.
2. Only reaction center chlorophyll molecules can transfer the excited electron to an electron acceptor.
3. Other pigment molecules do not participate in the light reactions of photosynthesis.
4. Reaction center chlorophyll molecules are located in the stroma, while other pigments are in the thylakoid membrane.

What role does chlorophyll b play in photosynthesis?
1. It acts as the primary pigment absorbing light for photosynthesis. 
2. It assists chlorophyll a by expanding the range of light wavelengths that can be absorbed. 
3. It is directly involved in the conversion of light energy to chemical energy. 
4. It protects chlorophyll a from photodamage by dissipating excessive light.

What is the most important role that accessory pigments play in photosynthesis?
1. They protect chlorophyll b from photodamage.
2. They absorb light and transfer energy to chlorophyll.
3. They catalyze the splitting of water.
4. They fix carbon dioxide into sugars.

What is a critical difference between cyclic and non-cyclic photophosphorylation?
1. Cyclic photophosphorylation produces ATP and NADPH, while non-cyclic produces only ATP.
2. Non-cyclic photophosphorylation involves both photosystems, while cyclic involves only one.
3. Cyclic photophosphorylation produces oxygen, whereas non-cyclic does not.
4. Non-cyclic photophosphorylation requires light, cyclic does not.
