Q.
Which of the following options is/are correct for accessory photosynthetic pigments ?
Photosynthesis in Higher Plants
Solution:
Chlorophyll- $b$, xanthophylls and carotenoids are called accessory pigments of photosynthesis. These pigments absorb light and transfer the energy to chlorophyll- $a$. They enable a wider range of wavelength of incoming light to be utilised for photosynthesis but also protect chlorophyll- $a$ from photooxidation.
