The correct answer is (B) Chlorophyll.
Explanation:
- Chlorophyll is a green pigment that is present in the leaves of plants.
- It is responsible for the absorption of light energy during the process of photosynthesis.
- Chlorophyll is found in specialized structures called chloroplasts, which are present in the cells of plant leaves.
- Chloroplasts contain other pigments as well, such as carotenoids and xanthophylls, but chlorophyll is the most abundant and gives leaves their characteristic green color.
- Chlorophyll is able to absorb light most efficiently in the blue and red regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, but it reflects green light, which is why leaves appear green to our eyes.
- The concentration of chlorophyll in leaves can vary depending on factors such as light intensity, temperature, and nutrient availability. In some cases, other pigments such as anthocyanins may also contribute to leaf coloration.
