The pigment involved in photosynthetic activity is-
-
- anthocyanin
- fucxanthin
- carotenoid
- chlorophyll
Correct Option: D
Chlorophyll is an extremely important bio-molecule, critical in photosynthesis, which allows plants to absorb energy from light. Chlorophyll absorbs light most strongly in the blue portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, followed by the red portion. However, it is a poor absorber of green and near-green portions of the spectrum, hence the green colour of chlorophyll containing tissues.
