Answer
A is False and R is True.
Explanation
Photosynthesis only occurs in green parts of the plant. For example, roots and non-green tissues do not perform photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll is the pigment responsible for absorbing light energy from the sun, which is then used to drive the process of photosynthesis.
