Explanation

Chlorophyll a primarily absorbs light in the blue-violet and red regions of the visible light spectrum, with peak absorption around 430–470 nanometers (nm and 660–670 nm, respectively.

The molecule shows poor absorption in the green region, which is why plants typically appear green.

Explanation

The central metal atom in chlorophyll is Magnesium. 

Chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants, has a magnesium atom at its core, which is crucial for its function in photosynthesis. 

Explanation

The functional group in chlorophyll is a porphyrin ring with a central magnesium ion (Mg²⁺).

This large ring structure, specifically a chlorin ring, which is a reduced porphyrin,

It is responsible for absorbing light energy during the process of photosynthesis. 

Explanation

Roots absorb water to maintain plant life.

They also take in essential minerals for growth and development.

Explanation

The scientific name of Amaltas (Golden Shower tree) is Cassia fistula.

It is known for its bright yellow flowers.

It is widely grown as an ornamental plant.

The following table provides the botanical names for a variety of familiar plants: 

Explanation

Angiosperms are flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed within a carpel/fruit.

In contrast, gymnosperms have naked seeds not enclosed by a fruit.

Explanation

Gossypium hirsutum is the scientific name of upland cotton, the most widely cultivated cotton species.

The following table provides the botanical names for a variety of familiar plants: 

Explanation

Geotropism is the growth response of plants toward or away from gravity.

Roots show positive geotropism (grow downward) and shoots show negative geotropism (grow upward).

Explanation

Explanation

In plants, xylem mainly transports water and minerals upward.

Phloem carries organic food and minerals both upward and downward, enabling downward translocation.
