Assertion : Carotenoids play a protective role for the chloroplasts during photolysis of water. Reason : Carotenoids pick the nascent oxygen by means of their double bonds and convert the same into molecular state.

A : Carotenoids protect plant from excessive heat and prevent photoxidation of chlorophyll. R : Carotenodis enable a wider range of wavelength of incoming light to be utilised for photosynthesis.

Read the following statements and choose correct ones- (A) Carotenoids protect chlorophyll a from photooxidation, (B) Dark reactions are not directly light driven, ©Chlorophyll a molecule shows maximum absorption in red and blue regions of the visible spectrum of light, (D) Light harvesting complexes are composed of hundreds of pigment molecules bound to lipids only.

Assertion: In chlorophyceae, plant body is usually grass green. Reason: Members of chlorophyceae, possess chlorophyll a, c, carotenoids and xanthophyll.

Assertion: The color of the leaf is due to the presence of four pigments-chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, xanthopylls and carotenoids. Reason: Chlorophyll b is the chief pigment associated with phosynthesis
