Concept explainers

Photosynthesis

Plants have a capacity that we humans can only imagine— the ability to produce food from sunlight. Sure, we can prepare some dishes that we can savor on, but it become possible because of the plants (as they serve as a producers of all the raw materials required). Photosynthesis is the method of assembling carbohydrates with the aid of sunlight.

Question

Thinking about photosynthetic pigments, which statement is correct?

A. The pigments found within most types of photosynthesizing cells are primarily chlorophylls and carotenoids.

B. The pigments that reflect solar energy are in the membrane of the thylakoid

C. Pigments play an important role in the absorption of chemical energy for photosynthesis.

D. Leaves contain only one type of pigment and that is the green chlorophyll.
