In addition to the pigments commonly associated with photosynthesis, a certain photosynthetic species contains two additional pigment types. Which of the following best supports the claim that this species is better adapted to environmental changes than other photosynthetic species are?    a) The additional pigments allow the species to outcompete other species for the wavelengths of light commonly used in photosynthesis. b) The increased pigment concentration better facilitates energy production within the cells of the species. c) The pigment combination allows the organism to absorb heat as well as light, making better use of available energy. d) The additional pigments allow the species containing them to harvest energy from wavelengths of light that the other photosynthetic species cannot use.

Photosynthesis

Plants have a capacity that we humans can only imagine— the ability to produce food from sunlight. Sure, we can prepare some dishes that we can savor on, but it become possible because of the plants (as they serve as a producers of all the raw materials required). Photosynthesis is the method of assembling carbohydrates with the aid of sunlight.
