Q. Which one of the following is not a photosynthetic pigment?
A. Chlorophyll
B. Phycobilin
C. Carotenoid
D. Anthocyanin
A photosynthetic pigment (accessory pigment; chloroplast pigment; antenna pigment) is a pigment that is present in chloroplasts or photosynthetic bacteria and captures the light energy necessary for photosynthesis.
Green plants have six closely related photosynthetic pigments (in order of increasing polarity):
A. Chlorophyll
B. Phycobilin
C. Carotenoid
D. Anthocyanin
Answer: Anthocyanin
Green plants have six closely related photosynthetic pigments (in order of increasing polarity):
- Carotene - an orange pigment
- Xanthophyll - a yellow pigment
- Phaeophytin a - a grey-brown pigment
- Phaeophytin b - a yellow-brown pigment
- Chlorophyll a - a blue-green pigment
- Chlorophyll b - a yellow-green pigment

Overall equation for the type of photosynthesis that occurs in plants
