What is PAR range?

Assertion : Cyclic pathway of photosynthesis first appeared in some eubacterial species.

Reason : Oxygen started accumulating in the atmosphere after the non-cyclic pathway of photosynthesis evolved.

The reaction centre of PS-II is_____.

The graph below represents the absorption spectrum of a major pigment contributing to photosynthesis.

Which one of the following best represents the photosynthetic efficiency of the pigment?
