Assertion (A): Light harvesting complexes made up of many pigments bound to proteins and are called antennae.
Reason (R): Antennae absorb different wavelengths of light.
Assertion (A): Light harvesting complexes made up of many pigments bound to proteins and are called antennae.
Reason (R): Antennae absorb different wavelengths of light.
Show Hint
- A and R are correct. R is the correct explanation of A
- A and R are correct. R is not the correct explanation of A
- A is correct but R is incorrect
- A is incorrect but R is correct
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Antennae in light harvesting complexes absorb light of various wavelengths, which is essential for capturing energy during photosynthesis.
The assertion is correct because the antennae are indeed light harvesting complexes composed of proteins and pigments.
The reason is also correct, as antennae absorb different wavelengths of light.
Final Answer:
A and R are correct. R is the correct explanation of A.
