Which is the correct order of energy transfer from accessory pigments to main photo synthetic pigment?
Correct answer: C. Carotenoids, chlorophyll b, Chlorophyll a
- A. Carotenoids, Chlorophyll a, Chlorophyll b
- B. Chlorophyll b, Carotenoids, Chlorophyll a
- C. Carotenoids, chlorophyll b, Chlorophyll a
- D. Chlorophyll a, Chlorophyll b, Carotenoids
Explanation
In the process of photosynthesis, energy transfer occurs in a specific sequence: from accessory pigments to the main photosynthetic pigment. Carotenoids capture light energy and pass it to chlorophyll b. Chlorophyll b then transfers this energy to chlorophyll a, where it is used in the photosynthetic reactions. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not follow this correct sequence.
