chlorophyll-$a$

Vedclass · Answer

(A) In a photosystem,the reaction center is formed by a single molecule of chlorophyll-$a$. All other pigments,including chlorophyll-$b$,carotenoids,and xanthophylls,are part of the light-harvesting complex $(LHC)$ or antennae complex. These accessory pigments absorb light at different wavelengths and transfer the energy to the reaction center (chlorophyll-$a$). Therefore,chlorophyll-$a$ is the only pigment that is not part of the antennae complex,as it acts as the reaction center.

List-I(Pigments)	List-II(Colour in chromatogram)
1. Chlorophyll 'b'	p. Yellow orange
2. Carotenoids	q. Orange red
3. Chlorophyll 'a'	s. Blue green
4. Xanthophylls	r. Yellow
