Phototropins belong to which light perception range?

Blue light (320–500 nm) (C) is correct here. This is core Phototropin+All: once you know the definition or pathway step, Blue light (320–500 nm) is the clear fit. The wrong ones are A) UV-B; B) UV-A; D) Far-red. If the topic is about gradients or potentials, water/solutes move from higher to lower of the relevant quantity.

Phototropins are plant photoreceptors sensitive to:

Pick C: Blue light. Thinking through Phototropin+All step by step rules out the lookalikes and leaves Blue light. Skip these: A) Red light; B) Far-red light; D) UV-B light. For hormones and genes, match the molecule or gene to its real role, not a neighboring pathway.
