Assertion: Chlorophyll a is the chief pigment associated with photosynthesis.
Reason: In the blue and red regions of spectrum, there is maximum absorption by chlorophyll- a, also shows higher rate of photosynthesis

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason 1s the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Chlorophyll a is the chief pigment associated with photosynthesis, because in the blue and red regions of spectrum, there is maximum absorption by chlrophyll a, also shows higher rate of photosynthesis
