Example of water soluble plant pigment is

  • chlorophyll- a

  • chlorophyll- b

  • anthocyanin

  • xanthophyll


C.

anthocyanin

Anthocyanin is a water-soluble pigment. It constitute a class of natural phenolic product. These provide colour to petals and fruits.

Chlorophyll is a green pigment in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, which is responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.

Chlorophyll- a is the primary photosynthetic pigment and chlorophyll- b is the accessory pigment that collects energy and passes it on to chl- a.

Xanthophyll is a yellow or brown carotenoid plant pigment which causes the autumn colours of leaves.
