Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

Chlorophyll is the principle pigment involved in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll-a is the major pigment involved in trapping light energy and converting it into electrical and chemical energy. Chlorophyll-b molecules also act as accessory pigment. Other accessory pigments are phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, carotenoids, etc. the accessory pigment and reaction centre together from photo system.
