Vedclass · Answer

(A) Photosynthesis occurs most efficiently in the blue and red regions of the visible light spectrum.Chlorophyll $a$ and $b$ show peak absorption in the blue region (around $430-450 \, nm$) and the red region (around $640-680 \, nm$).Among the given options,$440 \, nm$ falls directly within the blue light absorption peak,which is highly effective for driving the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.

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