Question

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. 
 

• A. A and R are correct. R is the correct explanation of A
• B. A and R are correct. R is not the correct explanation of A
• C. A is correct but R is incorrect
• D. A is incorrect but R is correct

Hint:

Antennae play a key role in the photosynthetic process by capturing light energy for the reaction center.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

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.
