Chlorophyll b is found along with chlorophyll a in:
Correct answer: C. All green plants and few algae
- A. Few green plants and all algae
- B. All green plants and all algae
- C. All green plants and few algae
- D. Few green plants and green algae
Explanation
Option C is correct. Chlorophyll b occurs in all green plants right from bryophytes to angiosperms but it is found only in euglenoids and chlorophyta as far as algae is concerned, Chlorophyll b is found along with chlorophyll a in all photosynthetic organisms, including plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. Chlorophyll b is a closely related pigment that absorbs light in the blue-green and far-red regions of the spectrum. The absorption of light by chlorophyll b helps to extend the range of wavelengths that can be used for photosynthesis.Chlorophyll b is also found in some photosynthetic bacteria. However, the exact role of chlorophyll b in these bacteria is not fully understood. However chlorophyll a is present in all photoautotrophs except bacteria.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
