Question

Match List - I with List - II.

List - I	List - II
A. Dinoflagellates B. Green bacteria C. Higher plants D. Blue-green and red algae	I. Chlorophyll b II. Chlorophyll c III. Bacteriochlorophyll c IV. Phycocyanobilins

• A. A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
• B. A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
• C. A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
• D. A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV

Hint:

Remember that chlorophyll c is a characteristic pigment of green bacteria.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Concept
Photosynthetic pigments in different types of organisms

Step 2: Meaning
Understanding the specific pigments associated with various photosynthetic organisms is crucial for identifying the correct match between the given lists.

Step 3: Analysis
A) Dinoflagellates - They can have a variety of pigments, but typically include chlorophylls and other accessory pigments. B) Green bacteria - These organisms are known to use chlorophyll c as one of their photosynthetic pigments. C) Higher plants - They primarily contain chlorophyll a and b. D) Blue-green and red algae - These often contain phycocyanobilins, which are characteristic of cyanobacteria, and they can also have chlorophylls.

Step 4: Conclusion
The correct matches based on the given information and typical characteristics of these organisms are: A-III (Dinoflagellates can use bacteriochlorophyll c), B-I (Green bacteria typically contain chlorophyll c), C-III (Higher plants do not match well with any option in List II, but traditionally chlorophyll a/b is associated which does not appear here so we stick to the given options), D-IV (Blue-green and red algae often have phycocyanobilins). Final Answer: (B)
