Vedclass · Answer

(C) The Assertion is correct because $Rhoeo$ leaves possess anthocyanin pigments in their epidermal cells,which provide a purple or reddish coloration to the leaves.However,the Reason is incorrect. Anthocyanins are water-soluble vacuolar pigments that provide red,purple,or blue colors to plant parts like petals,fruits,and leaves. They are not involved in photosynthesis and do not act as accessory photosynthetic pigments. Accessory photosynthetic pigments include chlorophyll $b$,xanthophylls,and carotenoids,which capture light energy and transfer it to chlorophyll $a$.

$A$. Chlorophyll $a$	$I$. Yellow-green
$B$. Chlorophyll $b$	$II$. Yellow
$C$. Xanthophylls	$III$. Blue-green
$D$. Carotenoids	$IV$. Yellow to Yellow-orange

Assertion : $Rhoeo$ leaves contain anthocyanin pigments in epidermal cells.
