Question

Which photosynthetic pigment is found in all photosynthesizing organisms?

A.beta-carotene

B.chlorophyll a

C.chlorophyll b

D.xanthocyanin

Answer 1

Chlorophyll a

Step-by-step explanation:

Chlorophyll is green pigment stored on chloroplast thylakoids where it participates in the process of photosynthesis as a light collector and photoelectric transformer.

There are five types of chlorophylls, but chlorophyll a is the main pigment of photosynthesis and is contained in all green plants that perform photosynthesis.

Chlorophyll has the ability of fluorescence, which means that the light it absorbs can be released again. Therefore, the solution of chlorophyll, observed in the tube in reflected light, is a deep red color.
