Compared to retinal, chlorophyll can be described as a pigment that has a
1. narrow absorption range but high efficiency
2. narrow apsorption range but low efficiency
3. wide absorption range but high effeciency
4. wide absorption range but low efficiency

a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4
After performing the chromatographic separation of a plant leaf, experimentor found bright or blue green colour in the chromatogram. Then this pigment should be-

a. 400-450 nm
b. 450-500 nm
c. 650-700 nm
d. 500-600 nm.

Water-soluble pigments found in plant cell vacuoles are:
1. | chlorophylls | 2. | carotenoids |
3. | anthocyanins | 4. | xanthophylls |
I: | include chlorophyll b, xanthophylls and carotenoids. |
II: | absorb light and transfer electrons to chlorophyll a. |
III: | protect chlorophyll a from photo-oxidation. |
