**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Photosynthetic Pigments**: Photosynthetic pigments are specific colored compounds found in plants that play a crucial role in the process of photosynthesis. They absorb light energy and convert it into chemical energy. 2. **Identifying the Major Pigments**: The primary photosynthetic pigments in higher plants are: - **Chlorophyll A**: This is the most important pigment in photosynthesis. It primarily absorbs blue and red light and reflects green light, which is why plants appear green. - **Chlorophyll B**: This pigment assists chlorophyll A by capturing additional light energy. It absorbs light in the blue and orange-red wavelengths and reflects yellow-green light. ...
