Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs specific wavelengths of light, and the absorption of that light leads to the passage of electrons to a higher energy state, where chemical energy can then be harvested from them. You would expect that a plant exposed to which color of light would produce the most photosynthesis?

green
orange
yellow
blue

Which color of light would you expect chlorophyll to absorb the least?

green
red
yellow
blue

Most plants are green because....

chlorophyll absorbs green light well
chlorophyll does not absorb green light well
chlorophyll reflects green light well
both of the last two answers are correct

Respiration produces much more ATP than fermentation

Respiration produces acidic products, fermentation does not.

Both respiration and fermentation use organic molecules.

Respiration uses oxygen, fermentation does not.

What is the source of energy for photosynthesis?

O2

Light

CO2

Water

Sugar

Question 6

Select one answer.

10 points

One way to explain how cellular respiration and photosynthesis relate to each other is to say that:

Plant cells use the oxygen produced by respiration for photosynthesis.

The oxygen produced by photosynthesis, once released to the environment, is the oxygen able to be used as the electron acceptors for cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration is a series of reduction reactions while photosynthesis is a series of oxidation reactions.

The two processes are not related.

The use of oxygen by plants contributes to the greenhouse effect.
