Question

What is the role of chlorophyll and other pigments during photosynthesis? a. To attach a phosphate to an ADP molecule to make ATP b. To use sunlight energy to break apart glucose molecules and release their energy c. To carry hydrogen ions back and forth between a cell’s mitochondria and chloroplasts d. To capture photons and send high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain

Answer 1

As we know chlorophyll is a kind of pigment specialized in capturing photons, these photons excite the magnesium core producing high-energy electrons that trigger photosystems II and I, and the whole photosynthetic machinery start to produce energetic molecules, therefore we can say that the correct answer is option D.
