In the figure given below , the black line(upper) indicates action spectrum for photosynthesis and the lighter line (lower) indicates the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll 'a' , answer the followings: Wavelength of light nanometera(nm) If chlorophll 'a' is reponsible for light reaction of photosynthesis, why do the action spectrum and absorption spectrum not overlap?

Think of a plant which lacks chlorophyll. From where will it obtain nutrition? Give an example of such a type of plant.

Chlorophyll 'a' is the primary pigment for light reaction. What are accessory pigments? What is their their role in photosynthesis?

These questions consist of two statement each, printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses. A. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion. B. If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion. C. If Assertion is true but Reason is false. D. If both Assertion and Reason are false. Assertion: The fungi are widespread in distribution and they even live on inside other plants and animals. Reason. Fungi are able to grow anywhere on land, water or other organisms because they have a variety of pigments including chlorophyll, carotenoids, fucoxanthin and phycoerythrin.
