Question

Which of the following statements about photosynthesis is correct?

A) Photosynthesis occurs in the mitochondria.
B) Chlorophyll absorbs green light.
C) Oxygen is consumed in the light-dependent reactions.
D) ATP is not produced during photosynthesis.

Answer 1

Chlorophyll absorbs green light in photosynthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement about photosynthesis is B) Chlorophyll absorbs green light.

During photosynthesis, chlorophyll in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast absorbs sunlight. Chlorophyll is responsible for absorbing most of the red and blue light, while reflecting green light, which is why plants appear green.

This statement is correct because chlorophyll absorbing green light is a key step in the process of photosynthesis.
