question 28
which of the following are accessory pigments found in spinach (select all that apply)?
carotene
xanthophyll
chlorophyll a
chlorophyll b

Explanation:

Accessory pigments in spinach include carotene and xanthophyll. Chlorophyll a is the main photosynthetic pigment, not an accessory one. Chlorophyll b is also considered an accessory pigment as it helps in light absorption and energy transfer but is often grouped with chlorophyll a in some basic discussions. However, in a strict sense, carotene and xanthophyll are classic accessory pigments.

Answer:

carotene, xanthophyll, chlorophyll b
