Answer 2

Chlorophyll a absorbs maximally the red wavelength of light.

Explanation:

• Pigments:  They are the light-harvesting molecules of specific wavelengths from the visible spectrum. Chlorophyll a, b and beta carotene are the prominent photosynthetic pigments.
• The spectrum of visible light lies from 400 to 700 nm.  Red light corresponds to the wavelength of 625 – 740 nm.
• Chlorophyll a absorbs the wavelength of red and blue light in the absorption spectrum. The chlorophyll molecule is composed of a porphyrin ring containing magnesium ion and hydrophobic tail that absorbs light.
