Outer chloroplast membrane
Cytoplasm
2. What is the colour of chlorophyll a?
*
Yellow-green
Yellow to orange
Blue-green
Orange
3. What is the colour of chlorophyll b?
*
Blue-green
Yellow-green
Yellow
Orange
4. What is the main function of chlorophyll a?
*
Accessory pigment that transfers energy
Primary photosynthetic pigment; directly participates in the reaction centres
Protect against photooxidative damage
Dissipate excess light energy
5. What is the colour of carotenoids?
*
Blue-green
Yellow-green
Yellow to orange
Red
6. What is the colour of carotenes?
*
Orange
Yellow
Blue-green
Yellow-green
7. What is the colour of xanthophylls?
*
Orange
Blue-green
Yellow
Red
8. Which region of light is most effectively absorbed by chlorophylls?
*
Blue-violet and red regions
Green region
Yellow region
Orange region
9. Why do leaves appear green?
*
Green light is absorbed most strongly
Green light is largely reflected or transmitted
Chlorophyll does not reflect any light
Chlorophyll only absorbs green light
10. In which region do carotenoids absorb mainly?
*
Red region
Blue to blue-green region
Yellow region
Green region
11. What does the absorption spectrum show?
*
How effectively different wavelengths drive photosynthesis
Which wavelengths a pigment absorbs
The exact temperature of the chloroplast
The rate of electron transfer
12. What does the action spectrum show?
*
Which wavelengths a pigment absorbs
How effectively different wavelengths drive photosynthesis
The colour of the accessory pigments
The structure of the thylakoid membrane
13. What are pigment-protein complexes in the thylakoid membrane called?
*
Reaction centres
Photosystems
Antenna complexes
Chloroplasts
14. What does the reaction centre contain?
*
Only accessory pigments
Carotenoids and xanthophylls
A special pair of chlorophyll a molecules that initiates electron transfer
Chlorophyll b exclusively
15. What is the maximum absorption wavelength for Photosystem I (PSI)?
*
Near 680 nm
Near 700 nm
Near 600 nm
Near 760 nm
16. What is the maximum absorption wavelength for Photosystem II (PSII)?
*
Near 700 nm
Near 680 nm
Near 720 nm
Near 650 nm
17. Which photosystem acts first in the non-cyclic electron transport pathway?
*
Photosystem I
Photosystem II
They act simultaneously without order
PSI and PSII alternate randomly
18. Which of the following is considered an accessory pigment?
*
Chlorophyll a
P680
P700
Chlorophyll b
19. What is the function of carotenoids regarding light?
*
Absorb additional wavelengths and protect against photooxidative damage
Act as the primary photosynthetic pigment in reaction centres
Reflect blue-violet light exclusively
Drive the reaction centre of PSI directly
20. Which pigment helps dissipate excess light energy and protect the photosynthetic apparatus?
*
Chlorophyll a
Carotene
Xanthophyll
P700
