All the following regarding the role of xanthophylls and carotenoids in photosynthesis are correct except:
| 1. | They act as accessory pigments |
| 2. | Their peak absorption is in blue and red regions of VIBGYOR |
| 3. | They enable a wider range of wavelength of incoming light to be utilized for photosynthesis |
