Q. 5 Carotenoids protect plant from:
1)
Photo-oxidation
2)
Photorespiration
3)
Dessication
4)
Photosynthesis​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Carotenoids have two important functions in plants. Second, they can protect plants which are over-exposed to sunlight. They do this by harmlessly dissipating excess light energy which they absorb as heat. In the absence of carotenoids, this excess light energy could destroy proteins, membranes, and other molecules.
