In bacterias, name the colour of light which is responsible for photosynthesis?
Correct answer: C. Red
- A. Ultra-Violet
- B. Blue
- C. Red
- D. None of the above options is correct
Explanation
Option A: Ultraviolet light is a different type of light and can not be seen by the naked eye hence it does not have a colour therefore this is not the correct option.Option B: The pigment in bacteria that is responsible for photosynthesis is light-green to blue-green. This is the colour they show hence this cannot be the colour they absorb.Option C: The pigment itself is blueish green therefore it absorbs red light. This option is correct.Option D: Option C is correct.
