6. Assertion (A): Carotenoids and Phycobilins constitute Accessory pigments.
Reason (R): These pigments trap the radiant energy and transfer to chlorophyll – a and chlorophyll – b.
1) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
2) Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

2) Formed but not used
3) Not formed but used
4) Used and formed
14. During photosynthes is
1) CO2 is taken first, O2 is released next
2) O2 is taken first, CO2 is released later
3) O2 is released first, CO2 is taken later
