Explanation:

Each has one chlorin ring- chlorin is a form of porphyrin.

Chlorophylls are comprised of a ringed molecule, chlorin, a hydrogenated form of porphyrin which contains a magnesium ion at the center, bonded to four atoms of nitrogen. Varying types of Chlorophyll have side chains, which affect the absorption spectrum of the molecule for instance A has a methyl group bonded to the C7 position, while B has an aldehyle (CHO) group at this location.

Embedded within the thykaloid membrane of chloroplasts, chlorophyll a and B mainly absorb orange-red and violet-blue wavelengths and convert light energy into chemical energy for the process of photosynthesis. This occurs in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, within chloroplasts of plants. The range of wavelengths absorbed by a pigment is its absorption spectrum while it reflects those outside of this range. Plants appear green as this region of light is reflected by the pigments.

Answer:

Rate of cellular respiration is higher.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process in which plants makes its food. This food is very significant for the plant and those who eats these plants. The factors which affect photosynthesis ,light intensity,carbon dioxide and temperature.

Light intensity: Without enough light plant cannot photosynthesize even there is plenty of carbon dioxide and temperature.

If there is no light the carbon dioxide uptake is below Zero(0) With no light there is no photosynthesis.So the rate of respiration higher than the photosynthesis.

If the light intensity increased the rate of photosynthesis will also be higher and more carbon dioxide uptake by the plant during photosynthesis
