Question
Chlorophyll is the-
- (Pg. 206, E)
A) Red pigment of leaf of all plants
B) Blue pigment of leaf of all plants
C) Green pigment of root of all plants
Solution
Chlorophyll is the green pigment found primarily in the leaves of plants, responsible for the absorption of light during photosynthesis. Among the options presented:
A) Red pigment of leaf of all plants - This is incorrect, as the red pigment found in some plants is typically associated with anthocyanins, not chlorophyll.
B) Blue pigment of leaf of all plants - This is also incorrect. Although some pigments can appear blue, chlorophyll itself is not blue.
C) Green pigment of root of all plants - This is incorrect as well. Chlorophyll is mainly found in the leaves of plants, not in the roots.
Therefore, none of these options accurately describe chlorophyll, but among the given choices, if we focus on the common misunderstanding regarding chlorophyll, it is primarily known as a green pigment involved in photosynthesis in the foliage, although not explicitly included as such in the options.
In conclusion, chlorophyll is best described as the green pigment used in photosynthesis, primarily located in the leaves of plants.
