Chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b differ from each other in only one of the following:
Correct answer: C. Functional groups
- A. Atoms
- B. Elements
- C. Functional groups
- D. Carbon atoms
Explanation
The primary difference between chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b is in their functional groups. Chlorophyll a contains a methyl group (CH₃), while chlorophyll b contains a carbonyl group (CHO). This difference in functional groups affects their absorption properties and roles in photosynthesis. Options A, B, and D are incorrect, as they do not accurately describe the structural difference between the two types of chlorophyll.
