Wavelength of blue light that is absorbed maximum by pigments:
Correct answer: C. 430 nm
- A. 670 nm
- B. 540 nm
- C. 430 nm
- D. 750 nm
Explanation
Wavelength of visible light varies from 380 nm to 750 nm. This spectrum contains seven different colors. Out of them blue and red wavelengths are absorbed maximally. 430 nm and 670 nm are most effective and they represent blue and red color respectively.

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.
