Answer 2

$\huge\underline\mathfrak\pink{Answer}$

• Accessory pigments are light-absorbing compounds, found in photosynthetic organisms, that work in conjunction with chlorophyll a.

• Chlorophylla-a is the primary pigment for photosynthesis in plants, but the range of light absorption is extended by chlorophyll-b, beta-carotene and other accessory pigments. The variations of chlorophyll-b and the bacterial version are indicated above.
