When discussing why the rate of photosynthesis did not increase at higher light intensities, the investigator mentioned the possibility that high light intensities could damage chlorophyll, which would result in a decrease in oxygen production. Which of the following accurately explains the role of chlorophyll in oxygen production during photosynthesis and why damage to chlorophyll would results in lower oxygen production? Select one or more: a. Chlorophyll participates in carbon fixation during the Calvin Cycle.  During this process, oxygen molecules are formed. b. Chlorophyll captures energy from sunlight and releases high energy electrons that enter the electron transport chain in the Calvin Cycle.  During this process, oxygen molecules are formed. c. Chlorophyll participates in carbon fixation during the light reactions.  During this process, oxygen molecules are formed. d. Chlorophyll captures energy from sunlight and releases high energy electrons that enter the electron transport chain in the light reactions.  During this process, oxygen molecules are formed.
