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 |
