NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color, and it helps plants create their own food through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plant-like protists are called algae. They include single-celled diatoms and multicellular seaweed. Like plants, algae contain chlorophyll and make food by photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, plant-like protists are aquatic organisms that are eukaryotic and can make their food. They possess the pigment responsible for photosynthesis, i.e., chlorophyll. Their ability to carry out photosynthesis makes these organisms associated with plants. However, they lack the true characteristics of plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chlorophyll is found in virtually all photosynthetic organisms, including green plants, cyanobacteria, and algae.

Detailed explanation-5: -More complicated diagrams will be displayed to illustrate the structures of the three types of pigments that are present during the aging of leaves: chlorophylls, carotenoids, and anthocyanins.
